    Survey
In summary, the conversation was about building an online survey with various question types and visual representations of answer types. The client mentioned a question type called JAR, which stands for Just About Right and is commonly used in marketing surveys. A link to a document explaining JAR scales was provided.

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).
 

1. What is a JAR survey question type?

A JAR (Just Another Ranker) survey question type is a type of ranking question where respondents are asked to rank a list of items in order of preference or importance.

2. How is a JAR survey question different from other ranking question types?

Unlike other ranking question types, a JAR question presents a list of items without any predefined categories or labels. This allows for a more open-ended and unbiased response from respondents.

3. When should I use a JAR survey question type?

A JAR question type is most useful when you want to gather information on the relative importance or preference of a list of items without imposing any preconceived categories or labels on the respondents.

4. What are the advantages of using a JAR survey question type?

One advantage of using a JAR question type is that it allows for more open-ended responses, which can provide valuable insights and feedback from respondents. Additionally, it can be used to gather information on a wide range of topics, from product preferences to political opinions.

5. Are there any limitations to using a JAR survey question type?

One limitation of using a JAR question type is that it can be more difficult to analyze and interpret the responses, as there are no predefined categories or labels to group the data. It may also be more time-consuming for respondents to rank a long list of items without any guidance or categories.
