(Redirected from Open ended question)
A 'closed-ended question' is a form of question, which normally can be answered with a simple "yes/no" dichotomous question, a specific simple piece of information, or a selection from multiple choices (multiple-choice question), if one excludes such non-answer responses as dodging a question, refusing or declaring an inability to answer, etc..
Examples:

★ Do you know your weight? -- Yes

★ What is your weight? -- 167 lbs
An 'open-ended question' is a form of question, opposite to the closed-ended one, which cannot be answered with a simple "yes/no" or a specific piece of information.

★ Why do you think about your weight?
