Closed-Ended Questions

Closed-ended questions are questions that require a specific, short response, often "yes" or "no," or selecting from provided options. They are used to gather clear, direct information quickly and efficiently. For example, asking, "Did you attend the meeting?" expects a simple "yes" or "no" answer, making data collection straightforward. These questions are useful when precise information or quantifiable data is needed, but they limit responses to predefined choices, not allowing for detailed explanations.
