Short text question outputs

Short text questions produce the following outputs:

• Word cloud showing the most frequent words.
• The full list of text responses.
• The analysis of text length (characters) that includes the descriptive statistics for the length of responses in characters.
• The analysis of text length (words) that includes the descriptive statistics for the length of responses in words.
• The number of participants who saw the question.

Remove participants directly

Once you see a nonsensical response, you can directly remove it from the outputs by hovering your mouse over the response you want to remove, right-click, and click on Mark as a bad response and exclude from analysis or Just exclude from analysis.

Setting up a short text question

Follow these steps to set up a short text question:

2. Edit question options

Once you add the question, you can adjust the following settings:
