We&#8217;ve expanded our Multi-Point Scale Matrix Table question type by introducing the new Bipolar Matrix question type!<\/p>\n<h1>Matrix Questions Overview<\/h1>\n<p>A matrix table can be used when asking about the same set of characteristics for multiple items, such as how often a respondent uses a set of products. The questions are arranged in a table or a grid to consolidate the information for the respondent.<\/p>\n<p>There are several variations on the Matrix Table question. Each variation has unique options and a unique format. The Likert scale was the original option for our multi-scale matrix question type, and we\u2019ve now added the Bipolar Matrix question type.<\/p>\n<h1>Variations<\/h1>\n<h2>Likert<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/article\/likert-scale-survey-questions.html\">Likert Scale<\/a> variation uses a table format to display a list of statements (rows) and scale points (columns). Question options can be Single Answer, Multiple Answer, Dropdown List or Drag and Drop.<\/p>\n<h2>Bipolar<\/h2>\n<p>A Bipolar matrix table displays two extremes of a scale with the extremes set by the survey admin. Respondents select a point between the two. Those points can also be labeled to help guide respondents through the scale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>LEARN ABOUT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/bipolar-questionnaire\/\">Bipolar Questionnaire<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/bipolar-matrix-scale.png\" alt=\"image\" width=\"1182\" height=\"410\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How to Set Up a Bipolar Matrix Question<\/h3>\n<p>After selecting the Multi-Point Scale matrix question, open the settings in the question.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bipolar-Matrix-Setting-Type.png\" alt=\"image\" width=\"1509\" height=\"498\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the settings tab, select \u201cBipolar\u201d in the Type section<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bipolar-Matrix-Setting-Type-1.png\" alt=\"image\" width=\"322\" height=\"543\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Add your question in the \u201cquestion text\u201d area at the top.<\/p>\n<p>You can then configure the scale for your question using opposite terms on each side of the scale.
