Abstract

We introduce a special type of graphs, which we use as tools for designing and improving survey questionnaires. While the idea of representing questionnaires as graphs is not new, our graphs constitute novel theoretical and practical tools, which could turn a complex questionnaire into a questionnaire that is easier to visualize, test and analyze.
