Review survey questions, generate validated question variants, estimate respondent burden, and detect order effects. AI-powered guidance for rigorous survey design.
About This Tool
These tools specialize in survey design best practices, each designed to refine your questionnaires into clear, unbiased, and effective measurement instruments.
AI FEEDBACK ON WORDING, BIAS, CLARITY
Identify problematic question wording and hidden biases.
Best for: Catching wording, bias, and clarity issues.
VALIDATED VARIANTS ACROSS SCALES
Generate question variants using validated measurement scales.
Best for: Creating variants of a single construct quickly.
BEST FORMAT FOR YOUR GOAL
Recommend the right response scale for your measurement.
Best for: Likert vs binary vs open-ended decisions.
COMPLETION TIME & BURDEN
Estimate survey burden and reading grade level.
Best for: Optimizing respondent experience and fatigue.
PRIMING & FATIGUE DETECTION
Identify potential question order biases and priming effects.
Best for: Sequencing questions to minimize bias.
Paste your survey questions and receive AI feedback on wording, bias, and clarity issues.
Optional: Add a line "CONTEXT:" followed by your survey theme (e.g., "CONTEXT: Financial wellbeing survey for millennials")
Describe what you want to measure, and generate question variants across validated scales.
Get AI recommendations on which scale format is best for your measurement goal.
Assess your full questionnaire for respondent burden: completion time, reading level, and fatigue risk.
Identify potential priming, context, and fatigue effects in your question sequence.
Format: Start each question with "Q1:", "Q2:", etc. (optional but recommended)

Yes, completely free! No account required. Your inputs are processed in real-time and never stored. Use them as many times as you like without cost or restrictions.
These tools are AI assistants, not replacements for expert review. Always have someone with survey design expertise review your questionnaire. The recommendations follow evidence-based practices but should be treated as a starting point for your own critical assessment.
It's a readability score that estimates the U.S. school grade level needed to understand the text. For example, a score of 8.5 means the text is readable by an 8th grader. For surveys, aim for grades 6–8 for general populations, and lower (5–6) for vulnerable groups (elderly, low literacy).
Yes! You can use the recommendations and feedback to improve your survey design. In your methods section, simply note that you used AI for initial survey review or question generation, then manually reviewed and refined all items. Transparency about AI use is good practice.
