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), forcing the respondent to choose between two extremes, which is characteristic of bipolar questions.
Here’s a breakdown of the other types of questions:
Close-ended question: Typically requires a specific response, such as yes/no or multiple choice, providing limited options for the respondent.
Open-ended question: Allows for a more detailed, unrestricted response, where the respondent can elaborate and give a more comprehensive answer.
Direct question: Asks for specific information without any indirectness, such as asking for someone's age or location.
Bipolar question: Specifically limits responses to a spectrum between two opposing viewpoints, like happy vs. unhappy or agree vs. disagree.
