  1. "Multiple choice question": A question with several answer options.
  2. "Single choice question": A question with several answer options, only one of which can be ticked.
  3. “Likert Question”: A question to indicate the level of agreement or disagreement. Here you can define a positive and a negative end point, but also the number of intermediate points.
