Background
Michael holds a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) from the University of Wollongong, with coursework in psychometrics and research methods.
He has extensive experience in questionnaire and survey design across educational and applied settings: how a question is worded, how an answer scale is built, how results are scored, and why people stop part way through a survey.
He is the founder of Quiz Maker and of SeeMyPersonality, where he directs test design and review.
How every question set on Poll Maker is built
Six standards each page meets before it is published, and keeps meeting after every update.
- Original wordingEvery question is written for Poll Maker. Licensed instruments are never reproduced, and each set is checked against the published items of the well-known ones before it goes live.
- One audience per surveyA question set speaks to one group, such as students, staff or customers. When a topic needs a second group, it gets its own module or its own page.
- Every question earns its placeEach question comes with the answers people choose from and a line on what the result tells you. Questions that tell you nothing are cut.
- Sources you can checkAny figure on a page links to the study it came from, and the study was read in full, not summarised from someone else's summary.
- Tested in the productBefore a page is published its survey is opened in the survey builder, each rating question is run as a live poll, and the printable version is printed.
- Dated honestlyThe date on a page changes only when the page changes in a way a reader would notice.
