Colleagues, the purpose of this topic is my desire to hear the opinion of the community.
If this is not correct, I will not do this anymore.
To the point.
Our company, due to its nature, very often collects information on the state of retail outlets.
')
To do this, on the PDA, we form various questionnaires that employees fill in "in the fields."
Due to the limitations of the software, we cannot create drop-down lists, but are forced to use numeric fields and “encode” answer options with numbers.
For example, 1 is “Yes”, 2 is “No”. We do not use the value 0 to explicitly distinguish the empty lines from the filled ones.
Question number 1:From the point of view of an ordinary person, how best to organize this type of answers to such questions:
- a) 1 is "Yes", 2 is "No"
- b) 1 is “No”, 2 is “Yes”
But there are questions that consist of more than two answers.
For example, "what price tags are used in a store for a particular type of product?"
and answer options:
- a) Promotional price tags from the supplier
- b) Printed price tags store
- c) Written by the seller by hand
- d) There is no price list at all
These questions have an “internal” priority for assessing a point, for example:
- a) this is ideal; (excellent rating)
- b) neutral; (good grade)
- c) rather bad than good; (rating is satisfactory)
- d) very bad; (Unsatisfied)
Question number 2From the point of view of an ordinary person, how best to organize this type of answers to such questions:
- - 1 is a), 2 is b), 3 is c), 4 is d)
- - 1 is d), 2 is c), 3 is b), 4 is a)
It seems to me that an opinion has been formed in our society in the cortex of the brain that the larger the number, the better the result. As in school - 2 is not good, 5 is excellent.
Therefore, I would choose the second answers in both of my questions.
And what is your opinion colleagues?
