Analyse Single Choice Question Responses

A single-choice question lets each respondent select one answer from a list of options. In the Analysis section, Enquete shows the results using a chart and a summary table so you can quickly see which option was chosen most and how the responses are distributed.

In the example shown, the question asks respondents how they would rate their overall experience with the migraine treatment. The analysis view shows the number of answers, the percentage for each choice, and visual tools that make the results easier to understand.

Step 1: Review the response chart

Under the question, you will see the Response Distribution chart. This displays each answer choice and shows how many respondents selected it.

You can use the chart to quickly compare the options. Longer bars or larger chart segments indicate that an option received more responses.

In this example:

• Excellent received 2 responses

• Poor received 1 response

• Good received 1 response

This shows that Excellent was selected most often.

Step 2: Switch between Bar and Pie view

At the top right of the chart, Enquete gives you a Bar and Pie button.

Use Bar view when you want to compare answer options more clearly by length and count. This is often the easiest view for reading exact differences between choices.

Use Pie view when you want to see how the total responses are divided as parts of a whole. This is useful for getting a quick visual impression of response share.

Both views show the same data. The only difference is how the results are displayed visually.

Step 3: Use the download menu

Below the Bar and Pie buttons, you will see a three-line menu icon. This menu allows you to download the chart in different formats.

You can download the chart as:

• PNG for an image file

• CSV for raw data in spreadsheet format

• SVG for a scalable graphic file

This is useful when you want to include the results in a report, presentation, or external analysis.

Step 4: Read the summary table

Below the chart, Enquete shows a table with:

• Choice

• Count

• Percentage

• Visual

This table gives you the exact result for each answer option. It helps you confirm what you see in the chart and makes it easier to compare responses side by side.

How to interprete single choice results

To interpret Single Choice results, first identify the option with the highest count or percentage. This tells you which answer was selected most often.

Then look at how the remaining responses are distributed. If one option clearly leads, it usually means respondents share a similar opinion. If the responses are spread across several options, it suggests more mixed views.

In this example, Excellent has 50% of responses, while Poor and Good each have 25%. This means the most common opinion is positive, but not all respondents had the same experience.

What to pay attention to

When analysing a Single Choice question, pay attention to:

• which option has the highest percentage

• whether the results are concentrated on one choice or spread across several choices

• whether negative or less expected answers appear often enough to matter

• whether the chart and table support the same conclusion

This helps you understand not only the most popular answer, but also the overall pattern in the responses.
