Build a this or that survey or questionnaire

A this or that questionnaire is a list of 10 to 20 pairs that people answer in one sitting. Teachers use it on the first day of school, and teams use it before an offsite.

Google Forms and Microsoft Forms both work. Use a multiple choice question for each pair, with the two options as the only answers.

1. Open Google Forms or Microsoft Forms and start a blank form.
2. Add a multiple choice question. Type the pair as the question title, for example "Ten-minute nap or Two-hour nap?"
3. Enter the two options as the answers. Turn on "Required" so nobody skips.
4. Repeat for 10 to 20 pairs. More than 20 and people start clicking at random.
5. Share the link. Open the Responses tab to see a chart for every question.
6. Share the most surprising results with the group the next day.

Good poll questions this or that tips

• Test the split. If you can guess the winner, pick a different pair.
• Keep options short. On a phone, long options get cut off.
• Post the result. People vote more on the next poll when they saw the last result.
• For live events, use Mentimeter or Slido so the room watches the bars move.
• Avoid politics, religion and real people. Those polls get angry comments, not votes.
• Use the random picker at /this-or-that-generator when you need a fresh pair for today.
