Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Designing a Useful Survey. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Survey Design Problem

Scenario

You are planning a survey to inform a product decision, and the team wants the results to be credible, not just easy to collect. The main concern is that a poorly designed survey could overstate interest or hide real differences between user groups.

Question

How would you design a survey so the results are actually useful and not misleading?
