Explanation

Sound questionnaire design avoids ambiguous terms, avoids long questions, and avoids double-barrelled questions.

Ambiguous wording lets respondents interpret the same item differently.

Long questions tire and confuse the respondent.

Double-barrelled questions ask about two things at once, so answers cannot be interpreted.

Asking leading questions is a fault, as they push respondents toward a chosen answer.

Very specific questions are often desirable, so avoiding them is not a rule.
