We were told to avoid yes/no questions in forms because they often cause confusion. Real-life situations rarely fit neatly into binary answers. How to improve them? Try to spell out the meaning of the yes/no, test them and add an extra answer to keep those open.

Questions that only have the answers 'yes' or 'no' can be difficult for people to answer. Avoid them.
