self-report questionnaire

A self-report questionnaire is a tool used to gather information about a person's knowledge, opinions, or behaviors by having them answer a series of questions on their own. In the context of general knowledge, it might ask participants to respond to prompts about various topics, such as history, science, or current events. The responses help researchers understand individuals’ knowledge levels, learning needs, or interests. This method relies on individuals providing honest and accurate answers, making it an effective way to assess general knowledge across different subjects.
