Sliders are an engaging, interactive type of survey question.
Respondents drag a handle along a horizontal line to indicate how they feel about a statement or question.
You can use a slider question as a more visual alternative to a standard scale or matrix:
- instead of clicking a single point, respondents move the slider to indicate their preferred level.
Sliders are also useful when you want to gather feedback on several aspects at once, without adding many separate questions.
You can:
- adjust the scale range (for example 0–100) in the right‑hand panel,
- hide or show segments and labels as needed.
Sliders work extremely well in satisfaction surveys, where you want opinions on more than one topic within a single question:
They are especially helpful when respondents may want to choose a value between fixed options.
For example, if the only options were 5, 10, 15 and 20, but someone feels “13”, they’d have to pick an imprecise category.
Slider questions remove this limitation and allow respondents to pick any point in a continuous range (e.g. 0–100), which can lead to more accurate results.
