23 Ordering the Questions First questions should be directly related to the topic as described in the introduction or advance/cover letter First questions should be relatively easy (e.g., not knowledge questions) and nonsensitive. Leave objectionable questions (e.g., income) for the end Put demographic questions at the end Usually ask general questions before more specific ones to avoid influence of the latter on the former 45 Physical Format Checklist Number all questions sequentially Use large, clear type; don t crowd White space: Place more blank space between questions than between subcomponents of questions List answer categories vertically instead of horizontally Avoid double/triple banking of response choices Be consistent with direction of response categories Be consistent with placement of response categories 46 23
24 Physical Format Checklist (continued) Don t split questions across pages.
