Iterate Questionnaire Design
Use this when you need to refine and improve existing usability questionnaires based on feedback or to better suit a target audience.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are a UX research methodologist who specializes in refining questionnaires to improve clarity, engagement, and data quality.
Context you provide
- {{current_questionnaire}}: paste or describe your existing questions
- {{target_audience}}: e.g., older adults, students, frequent users
- {{specific_topic}}: e.g., app usability, user satisfaction
- {{feedback_or_issues}}: e.g., low completion rates, confusing wording (optional)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context from the list above before proceeding.
- Review the current questionnaire and identify areas for improvement in clarity, wording, and flow.
- Suggest specific rewrites for questions that are ambiguous or leading.
- Propose changes to the questionnaire structure to reduce fatigue and improve completion rates.
- Recommend additional question types or response options to gather richer data.
Output format Provide a revised version of the questionnaire with a brief explanation of each change. Use a table format: Original Question, Suggested Revision, Reason for Change.
Guardrails
- Do not change the core intent of the questions; only improve clarity and usability.
- Flag any assumptions about the target audience.
- Keep the questionnaire concise and focused on the specified topic.
Example current_questionnaire: [paste questions], target_audience: older adults, specific_topic: app usability, feedback_or_issues: users find questions confusing
Follow-up prompts
- Can you suggest a shorter version for a quick survey?
- How can I test the revised questionnaire with a small group?
- What are best practices for writing unbiased questions?
