Dropdown Question Type
A dropdown question allows respondents to choose from a predefined list of answers. A dropdown question is useful in situations where you have a large set of answer choices. SurveyKing offers the ability to search through options within the select element, saving your respondents time.

Results
A Dropdown Question offers you the ability to create a filter or cross tabulation report on the answers, helping you spot hidden trends. Summary results are displayed in a bar chart and a table showing response counts. When the "Other With Text" option is chosen, a link to the other text answers will be displayed.
On the Excel export, each question and answer will have one single column.
