Information about Open Ended Question

A closed-ended question is a form of question, which normally can be answered with a simple "yes/no" dichotomous question, a specific simple piece of information, or a selection from multiple choices (multiple-choice question), if one excludes such non-answer responses as dodging a question, refusing or declaring an inability to answer, etc..

Examples:
  • Do you know your weight? -- Yes
  • What is your weight? -- 167 lbs
An open-ended question is a form of question, opposite to the closed-ended one, which cannot be answered with a simple "yes/no" or a specific piece of information.
  • What do you think about your weight?
