The discussion revolves around the creation of an online survey with various question types specified by a client, including sliders, Likert scales, checkboxes, and more. A key focus is on the term "JAR," which is believed to be an acronym related to marketing surveys. Participants speculate that it might stand for "Just About Right." A link to an academic resource is shared, confirming the meaning of JAR scales in sensory evaluation. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding specific terminology in survey design and the importance of understanding different question types for effective data collection.

I'm building a(n online) survey and the client has specified many question types, such as slider, Lickert Scale, checkboxes, matrix, radio, free text, etc.
(so, the list is a mix - of question types and visual representations of answer types)

The very first one on the list simply called JAR. Any ideas what this might be? I assume it's an acronym - and a common one in marketing survey land - but what?

Perfect! Thank you!

(Not sure what Google terms you used, but "acronym JAR survey question" and various permutations turned up nothing).
