What type of questions are considered close-ended questions?

Questions requiring detailed responses
Subjective questions
Yes or no questions
Opinion-based questions

The correct answer is: Yes or no questions

Close-ended questions are those that can be answered with a simple response, typically "yes" or "no," or by selecting from a limited set of options. This format makes it easy to quantify responses and analyze data since they do not require elaboration. For example, when asking a participant whether they have experienced a certain symptom, the response can only be affirmative or negative, providing clear, straightforward data that can be swiftly processed. In contrast, options that ask for detailed responses or opinions require more nuanced answers, making them subjective and open-ended. These types of questions invite elaboration and personal interpretation, which do not fit the definition of being close-ended. Consequently, close-ended questions are particularly useful in structured surveys and assessments to obtain concise and specific information.
