One of the most exciting parts of completing a questionnaire is the presentation of findings and results at the end of data collection. With the user feedback you've gathered, you can now take your quiz results and turn them into impressive and insightful presentations that clearly outline how the organization should proceed. However, there are definitely some do's and don'ts when it comes to how to present the results of your questionnaire.

In this article, we'll look at the importance of strong visuals, how charts and graphs help highlight trends, what to do with open-ended responses, and some presentation tools that help with everything. implement.

Visuals are important to explain the results of a questionnaire

Ideas should be understood quickly and easily and then developed over time. By doing so (especially in presentations), you create a scenario in which understanding can be both deep and broad.

So what to do? start with use visuals.

Research indicates that the human brain can interpret images 60 times faster than text because over 000% of human communication is visual. So when we want to communicate information (like the results of a quiz) effectively and efficiently, we know that visual representations are essential for success.

This is where charts, graphs, and visuals come into play in your presentation of quiz results. Presenting your quiz results in a highly visual format helps you grab attention and gain buy-in from your audience by showing unmistakable trends.

Use tables and graphs

Since we already know that translating the multitude of quiz responses into tables and graphs allows you to effectively disseminate quiz results, we want to know where to find these existing resources.

If you are using a questionnaire tool such as GoogleForms, you're in luck: great graphics are built in. In most cases, these automatically generated visualizations of quiz results save you the graphics production work and quantitative tables (and make it easy to capture and share a clear picture of questionnaire data).

Focus on the numbers to present the results of your questionnaire

In addition to the story your charts and graphs will tell, you'll want to emphasize the numbers and statistics that resonate with your audience. Often, people in leadership positions are used to looking at the business from a numbers perspective. So it's important to remember to speak their language with a focus on data. The presentation of questionnaire results in a highly visual format will keep your audience interested.

As part of your presentation, you can use statistics such as:

  • percentage of responses,
  • number of respondents,
  • net promoter scores,
  • percentages of customer satisfaction or employee satisfaction.

Highlight open-ended responses

If your questionnaire includes questions allowing open answers, you will not be able to translate them into a table or a graph. You'll likely be limited to noting the most frequently used words and adjectives in these answers (like "easy" or "valuable") via a word cloud.
You can, however, extract some of the interesting comments and highlight them during your presentation as respondent quotes.

Say, for example, a quiz taker has a positive review of your product. He writes: “I find myself coming back to this company because the jackets here are the warmest and most durable I've tried – and they never fall apart over time.”

That's something you'd like your audience to hear, right? These comments provide extremely valuable insight into what your audience thinks and feels about your business. So be sure to use them wisely in your presentation (and also consider using them as testimonials for your product).

Choose a presentation tool

The final step is to choose a presentation tool that will best showcase your quiz results and accompanying design elements. There are a lot of different options with various features, but look for the tool that meets all your functionality requirements.
Consider tools like:
