5. Best-Use Tips

• Consider adding an open-ended question after this question type asking respondents to explain what motivated them to answer the way they did. The XY Drag and Drop question provides quantitative data in terms of the coordinates of where the images were placed and gathering some qualitative data explaining respondents' behavior will help give a richer picture of the topic.
• When analyzing the data collected, don't simply compare the coordinates for a single image across all answers, but also look at the way respondents placed all of the images. This will offer you some insight and a more complete picture. If they generally placed all the images around the extremities, you may want to consider their views differently to a respondent who was more moderate in his response and may have placed most images clustered together and carefully chosen one or two further along the grid.

What's next?

• Image Choice is used when you ask a multiple choice question and present the possible answers to your respondent by using images or GIFs. Photos 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. 
• 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.
