Types of Questions

The audience response system we offer allows the option of a number of different types of questions:

Demographic Questions
Priority Ranking Questions
Comparison Questions

Demographic Question

The turning point system allow us to assign different demographics (groups of people) within the audience so that you can view how the different groups have voted to specific questions.

For example:

Question 1 (assigned as a demographic question)
What branch do you work in?

1. Winchester
2. London

Question 2
I feel communication at our branch is:

1. Very Good
2. Good
3. Average
4. Poor
5. Very Poor

Once the questions have been answered you can then analise for example the percentage (or number of people) who said communication at the Winchester branch was very good. And how many people in the London branch who said communication was average.
The demographic question will apply to all subsequent questions.

The demographic information can either be displayed on a demographic comparison slide or used in a demographic report for analysing after the event.
Bellow is an example of a demographic comparison slide.

Priority Ranking Question

A priority ranking questions allows your delegates to answer a question with multiple responses.

For example:

Question - What are the 3 top priorities the council needs to focus on?

Answers

1. Transport
2. Crime
3. Education
4. Schools
5. Social Services
6. Policing

The delegates then answer 3 choices on their keypads in order of priority. There first choice is weighted (scored) higher than there last choice. Once polling has finished the system aggregates all the results and displays the results on a graph.

Comparison Question

A comparison question slide is a slide that displays two results of the same question. For examples before a discussion you can ask a question to gather peoples opinions on a particular subject. Then after the discussion the same question can be asked again and the result be displayed side by side on the same graph to see if peoples opinions have changed.

This has also been used in a meeting where a set of questions was asked about working conditions within a department. Then six months later the same question was asked again to the same delegates. The results could be compared side by side to see if there had been any changes over the six months.
