Likert scales can be unipolar, indicating a respondent to think of the presence or absence of quality. Or they can be bipolar, mentioning two different qualities, and defining the relative proportion of those qualities.
For example, if a telecom company would like to understand the respondent's satisfaction level with their services, the question that can be asked is:. Semantic differential scale is a type of question that asks people to rate a product, company, brand, or any "entity" within the frames of a multipoint rating option. These survey answering options are grammatically on opposite adjectives at each end.

Constant Sum Question Constant Sum question is also a rank order question type where the respondent can only select options in the form of numerics. A constant sum question allows respondents to enter numerical values for a set of variables but requires them to add up to a pre-specified total.

Open-ended questions allow you to gather more information per response. For example, if you're interviewing for an editorial position for a publication, you might ask the interviewer about a typical day for an editor.
The interviewer's response is likely to include details about start time, end time, primary duties and secondary responsibilities, but it may also reveal information about tangential matters such as the editorial process and communication methods between writers and editors. Sometimes, a yes-or-no question is the best type of question to ask. Yes-or-no questions are useful for clarifying details to confirm that you understand the details of an earlier response.
For instance, if a respondent introduces complex or esoteric information, asking whether you're correct in your interpretation is not only acceptable but also advisable. Use terminology that your listener is likely to understand.
When speaking with a manager, it's acceptable to use jargon since you're both in the same industry, but someone outside of your organization might not know what certain industry terms mean.

The purpose of asking questions is to gain as much information as possible, and follow-up questions are essential to do that.
