The Questionnaire Builder within the RedJade® Suite guides you through the steps to create a new questionnaire. A questionnaire is a sequence of questions to be answered by a participant. The content of the questionnaire varies based on the type of test. When you create or copy a new questionnaire, you define the title, type and other details. And then you add questions. 

Every test requires one or more questionnaires and every questionnaire requires at least one question. A questionnaire must have one page and is presented to a participant one page at a time. The Questionnaire Builder provides several built-in questionnaire types and standard questions, along with tools to modify and customize these questions. The question types enabled vary based on the type of questionnaire. You can create a library of questionnaires you commonly use, then copy and customize them as needed for a test. 

Following are the questionnaire types in RedJade:

• Single Sample(s): One or more samples served one at a time. This is the questionnaire type you would select for a typical sequential monadic test. It is created with an empty page for questions to be added.
• No Samples: No samples are evaluated. Common for concept, visual, demographic, as well as usage and attitude questionnaires. A concept questionnaire, for example, may be served before samples. It is created with an empty page for questions to be added.
• Multiple Samples: Two or more samples evaluated at the same time. Common for ranking, preference and napping. Multiple samples may be "with samples" or "after samples." It is created with an empty page for questions to be added.
• Discrimination: Used to determine any noticeable difference between two samples. A discrimination questionnaire is served with a minimum of two samples, depending on the discrimination type. This type is created with a default question that can be edited and questions added. The discrimination methods supported are:
  • Paired Comparison
  • Duo-Trio
  • Triangle
  • Tetrad
  • Two of Five
  • Hexad
  • nAFC

Using the Questionnaire Builder, you must create at least one questionnaire before you can go to the next step of the wizard, but you can save the test and return to complete the questionnaire(s) later. When creating a new questionnaire, you must add at least one question before you can preview or launch an event. 

You can create questionnaires from the Home Dashboard or from the Test Wizard. If you begin from the Home Dashboard, you can choose to open an existing project or create a new one. If you want to create a questionnaire from an existing test, either edit the test using the wizard or click on the surveys tile from the test dashboard.

Questionnaire Library

RedJade includes a library of various types of questions to help you build questionnaires for multiple kinds of tests. You can add and customize questions from the library, create your own questions and save questions to your own library. You can also create a shared library for everybody in your organization.

In the Questionnaire Builder, the libraries display on the right. Click on the (+) and (-) signs to expand and collapse the library sections. Select a question to preview it and click the green [+] button on the library item to add it to your questionnaire. You can also enter a search term to quickly locate and add a question to your questionnaire.

RedJade includes the following libraries:

• Basic Library contains blank question elements for you to build your own questions. It also contains page elements, such as a timer and media.
• My Library is self-managed and contains questions you save to your library.
• Shared Library is accessible by everyone in your organization who has access to projects. Anyone in your organization who has access to projects can add or edit questions in the shared library.
• RedJade Library contains 80+ pre-built standard sensory questions, enabling users to efficiently create questionnaires. The questions are available in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Greek, Dutch, Finnish, Danish and Malaysian languages. Additional languages can be added upon request.

Question Types

The following describes the various question types available from the basic library.

Basic Questions:

• Demographic Question – Used when building recruiting and onboarding screeners. Select the Quota / Categories from the dropdown to create the screener question and automatically map the Demographic Assignments. Modify the question text and assignments as desired afterwards.
• Dropdown – Participant answers by selecting only one response on a dropdown list.
• Line Scale – Participant answers by clicking a point on a line.
• Multiple Selection – Participant answers by selecting any number of responses (at least one response must be selected).
• Numeric – Participant answers with a number.
• Single Selection – Participant answers by selecting only one response.

• Text – Participant answers by adding text (open-end response).

Choice Model Questions:

• Choice Based Conjoint – Participant answers by selecting from a combination of attributes at varying levels to determine what combination of a limited number of attributes is most influential on respondent choice or decision making. See Choice Based Conjoint
• MaxDiff – Participant answers by selecting from a combination of attributes which is the most important and least important attribute. See MaxDiff

Discrimination:

• A Not A – The A–not-A test, is a method of discrimination testing comprised of at least two samples; at least one sample is a previously identified sample (“A”) and at least one is a test sample. All samples are presented blindly, and the assessor’s task is to assign the label “A” or “not-A” to each of the samples. See A-Not-A Discrimination Method
• Paired Comparison – Participants are served two coded samples. Participant answers by selecting if they perceive the two samples to be the same or different.
• Duo-Trio – Participants are served three samples, one labeled as a reference and two coded samples. The coded samples are different and one is the same as the reference. Participant answers by selecting the coded sample they perceive to be the same as the reference. 
• Triangle – Participants are served three coded samples, two are the same and one is different. Participant answers by selecting the sample they perceive to be different from the other two. 
• Tetrad – Participants are served four coded samples, two samples of a product and two samples of another product. Participant answers by selecting the two samples they perceive to be the same or by placing the samples into two groups according to similarity.
• Two of Five – Participants are served five coded samples, two samples of a product and three samples of another product. Participant answers by selecting the two samples they perceive to be different from the other three. 
• Hexad – Participants are served six samples, three samples of a product and three samples of another product. Participant answers by selecting the three samples they perceive to be the same or by placing the samples into two groups according to similarity.
• nAFC – Participants are served two or more coded samples (stimuli), one is different and all others are the same. Participant answers by selecting the sample they perceive to be different from the others.

Grid Questions:

• Multiple Selection Grid – Participant answers by selecting any number (at least one) of responses in each group.

• Numeric Grid – Participant answers with a number for each response in a group.

• Semantic Differential Scale – Participant answers by selecting only one response in each group, similar to a single selection grid. However, the groups are labeled on both ends. The scale texts are grammatically on opposite adjectives at each end. For example, hard to use-easy to use, friendly-unfriendly, convenient-inconvenient, satisfied-unsatisfied, and likely to return-unlikely to return, with intermediate options in between. 

• Single Selection Grid – Participant answers by selecting only one response in each group.

Multiple Sample:

• Napping – Participant evaluates a group of samples, arranging them in a two-dimensional canvas (nappe) according to how similar or different they consider samples to be from one another. Each participant uses his own criteria to position samples. Samples which are perceived to be similar are placed close together and samples which are perceived to be different are placed well apart. There are no good or bad answers. 

• Preference – Participant answers by selecting the preferred product. Sample codes automatically display as the responses, and a "no preference" choice option can also be added. A Preference Question can only be added to a Multiple Samples Questionnaire (with or after samples).

• Ranking – Participant answers by ranking all the samples from first-to-last, according to the Instruction and question text provided. Sample codes automatically display as the responses. A Ranking Question can only be added to a Multiple Samples Questionnaire (with or after samples).

Multiple Samples - Zipper:
