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).
