Ranking Question

A Ranking survey question, or a rank order question, is a type of survey or research question that is used to determine people's opinions, attitudes, and priorities towards several characteristics of a certain subject or towards multiple related options. This question asks respondents to arrange a set of choices in order of preference, importance, or other criteria, or assign a numerical value to each choice based on their relative rank. For example, a survey ranking question might ask respondents to rank a set of job benefits in order of importance, or assign the highest value to the most important job benefit, and the lowest value to the least important one. This way an employer can get a solid understanding of overall ranking of several job benefits they are considering to offer, identify which of them employees prefer or value most, and act accordingly.
