| Type | Description | Scoring |
|---|---|---|
| MCQ | Multiple choice with a single correct answer. The participant selects one option from a list. | Full points for the correct option, zero otherwise. |
| True/False | A binary choice between two options. A simplified MCQ with fixed options. | Full points for the correct choice, zero otherwise. |
| Multiselect | Multiple choice with multiple correct answers. The participant selects all that apply. | Partial credit proportional to correct selections. Wrong selections reduce credit. |
| Short answer | Free-text response evaluated against an expected answer. | Regex match for automatic grading, or manual grading by a reviewer. |
| Numeric | A numeric response checked against an accepted range. | Full points if the answer falls within the configured min/max range. |
| Likert scale | A rating on an ordered scale (e.g., 1 to 5 or Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree). | Each scale position maps to a point value defined in the question config. |
| Matching | Pairs of items that the participant connects together. | Credit awarded per correctly matched pair. |
| Ordering | A set of items that the participant arranges into the correct sequence. | Credit awarded per item in the correct position. |
| Fill-in-the-blank | A prompt with one or more blanks the participant fills in. | Exact match or fuzzy match against accepted answers per blank. |
| Information | A display-only block with no participant input. Used for instructions, context, or media. | No scoring. Contributes zero points to the total. |
