Our industry is slowly boring respondents to death. The novelty of taking a survey online is wearing off, resulting in lower online participation rates and higher online survey break-off rates. In response to this growing issue, Polimetrix has created a group of instrumentation widgets within our online survey platform using AJAX. A new breed of Web 2.0 applications leverage AJAX (an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) yet it is not a new technology; rather, Microsoft created the framework for AJAX in the early 90's and developers have recently combined these technologies that most browsers now support.


Our online survey platform engages respondents using a richer, more interactive interface:

  • Placement widgets enable respondents to not only place themselves on a highly attenuated slider scale, but to then overlay other individuals, brands, products and concepts on the same scale, creating a rich and holistic perspective.
  • Ranking widgets that allow respondents to interactively drag and drop rich content such as images and logos into place.
  • Dynamic grids that end the tedium of long attribute lists by highlighting and automatically advancing rows to speed the process, eliminate straight-lining and engage the respondent.
  • Pop-up questions that allow for a follow-on question to appear on the same screen for further clarification without being blocked by browser technologies.

Here's where you can see some of our Survey Widgets™ in action:
