The question ”How happy were you with your job on the whole?” is classified as a bipolar question. This type of question is designed to elicit a response within a limited range (for example, happy vs. unhappy), which essentially forces the respondent to choose between two extremes.
Close ended question: Typically requires a specific response (like yes/no or multiple choice). - Open ended question: Allows for a more detailed, unrestricted response. - Direct question: Asks for specific information without any indirectness. - Bipolar question: Specifi-cally limits responses to a spectrum between two opposing viewpoints.
