Single Dropdown (Select)
The single dropdown (select) question type lets respondents select one answer from a drop-down list. This question type works great when you have lots of answer choices.
When respondents click on the dropdown, a box will appear allowing respondents to choose an answer choice. A search bar will display above the answer choices, allowing respondents to quickly search through the answer choices.
You can add as many answer choices as you need – in fact the more answer choices you have, the more this question type excels owing to the search functionality and the scrollable box the answer choices display in. The caveat is that when working with very long lists, the format should be familiar to respondents. For example, country names, state/counties, or another familiar format.
Here are some example questions using the single dropdown (select) question type:
