Summary: Randomisation

Initial Comment:
Response codes inside a question should be possible to 
randomise.

There is a psychological effect on people to 
influence the human mind to read from top to bottom. This means in 
a multiple question for instance, the top codes will most likely have 
a "bias" to be more clicked in rather than low response codes (top 
would mean higher up on the screen).

So what should be 
done here is the option of having a randomisation box so question 
get's randomised. Also important here is that some items must be 
able to be kept in bottom such as "None of the above" or "Refuse to 
Answer" or "don't know". So here as in the other request there 
would be a need for a "no control" of certain items, or should it be 
called "not randomised"?

well; it would change the result exactly because of the fact 
that this laziness only kicks in after a couple of questions.

Any researcher knows that the first questions you ask in a survey tend to 
get "higher quality" than questions asked later in the questionnaire. The 
more questions you push someone to answer, the more it effects the 
quality...

So why do you randomise then?

Let's say you 
have 5 different questions to benchmark a product on different variables 
that might interfer. On a phone for instance that would be perhaps 
batteries, design, size, functionality.... 

If they are not 
randomised and you do a regression analysis afterwards, the values will 
be messed up. However if you do randomisation, you know that the bias 
will be equal on all of the questions asked and you can therefor make a 
more correct analysis. 

Would that answer your question?

so what you're saying is that people are too lazy to read the 
options and tend to just tick/select the uppermost choices. If 
that's the case, how does randomising the choices to a 
question solve anything?

I also require the same randomization functionality fro the 
same reason.
