Image Choice is used when you ask a multiple choice question and present the possible answers to your respondent by using pictures or GIFs. Pictures in your questionnaire allow you to connect with your audience on a more emotional level and it’s proven that people often respond better to a picture.
Did you know, that the human brain processes pictures 60,000 times faster than text? It means that your question will capture the attention of your respondents faster and help them take in the content more easily. So, visuals provide a stronger stimulus for giving better and honest feedback.

- Add a 'not applicable'-answer - toggle this button and an answer option Not applicable will be automatically shown at the bottom of the answer options.
- Shuffle answers every time the survey is opened - toggle this button to shuffle the answers to that specific question every time the survey is opened. This is a great option when you're creating a quiz and you don't want respondents sharing their answers with others.

If you choose to make the question mandatory and allow multiple answers, you will be asked to specify the minimum and the maximum number of answers that need to be selected.
5. Make your question a Quiz question
When you make a question a quiz question, you will be able to mark the correct answer (or answers in case of multiple choice). This way the respondent will receive a score based on the quiz questions at the end of the survey or quiz.
When you turn this question into a quiz question, now you will see a slider next to each answer. Use this to mark the correct answer.
When you have marked the correct answer, the quiz score for that answer will automatically turn to 1, but you can use the arrows to adjust this scoring.
If you want to use an alternative scoring system, turn on give score when all correct answers are selected. You can now input any number you want to be given as the score when answers are correct and when they are wrong. You will not be able to change the score next to individual answers now.
When the respondents receive their score, they also have the possibility to take a look at the right answers. Underneath these answers, you can show an explanation for the correct answer. Write your question explanation here:
Here's an example to show you how the question explanation is displayed:
Make sure you click Save changes at the top of the screen.
Now that you know how to add pictures to a survey, discover even more creative ways to use surveys to engage your audience and collect valuable data.

- Rating questions are question types that ask a respondent to rate a product or service. There a lot of different formats you can use, like Star, Emoji, or Smiley ranking. This question type is used to get a clear view of how well you're doing, or how much someone likes your product, service, or business.
Text Only allows you to add a screen or slide with only text (and a media file) in your questionnaire. It will add interaction and personality to your questionnaire because instead of only asking for information, you have the opportunity to give information as well. It helps to create a dialogue and make your questionnaire feel interactive.
Text Choice is the simplest question type where you ask your respondents to choose the right answer. It can also be turned into a quiz question if you add a score or into a multiple choice question. In that case your respondent is asked to choose one or more items from a limited list of choices.
