- Numeric answers are used when a respondent must provide a number to answer to a question.
- Where a numeric answer requires a unit or other qualifying information, it should be added as a text answer. For example, ‘Give your height in centimeters’ is a number, whereas ‘Give your height’ is a text answer as the unit needs to be specified in the answer.
- They are either an Integer or Float numeric type. Integers are whole numbers only. Floats allow a decimal place.
- For most numeric responses a generic answer labelled ‘How many’ is used.
- Formats, minimums and maximums matter so ‘Number (Integer, Min: 0, Max: 10)’ is not the same as either ‘Number (Float, Min: 0, Max: 10)’ or ‘Number (Integer, Min: 0, Max: 20)’.
