Randomisation block
Randomisation blocks can be used to organise and shuffle a group of questions and blocks within the experiment.
Setting up a randomisation block
Follow these steps to set up a randomisation block:
1. Add a randomisation block
Navigate to the Add questions tab and click on the button at the bottom of the page.
On the Add or import questions pop-out, select the Add a new question tab and click on the question card to add it to the experiment.
2. Organise the randomisation block
Once you add the randomisation block, you can:
- Click-and-drag to move the block.
- Rename the block.
- Click-and-drag questions into the block.
3. Specify the maximum number of questions to display per respondent
You can enter your preferred maximum number of questions to display per respondent.
By default, the field is set to 0 to display all questions in the block to all respondents. In this example, 3 is entered, then each respondent will only see three randomly selected the questions out of the four questions in the block. As each question in the block is entirely randomised, it is not guaranteed that each will be shown to an equal number of participants. However, questions are allocated to an approximate equal number of participants, e.g. for this randomisation block, each question will be shown to approximately 75% of participants.
Respondent view
The example below shows how respondents are shown three survey questions randomly out of the block of four questions.
Randomisation block outputs
The randomisation block outputs are subject to the questions included. Aside from question outputs, the randomisation block outputs also includes the number of participants who saw and answered each question within the block.
FAQs
Can I randomise the order of question groups i.e. randomisation blocks?
Randomising question groups on Conjointly is easy using nested randomisation blocks. Two or more randomisation blocks can be nested inside another block, as shown below:
