Creating a free questionnaire is not an easy task. This is because unless you are designing it with a specific person in mind, chances are that you will have a hard time defining the intended respondents and therefore formulating questions that will aid the researcher in collecting relevant data. Often free questionnaires are designed to give researchers an idea of what the overall questionnaire should look like. As such, for it to be of any beneficial use to him or her, the researcher will need to fine tune the different questions to match his or her research sample and research criteria.
