Randomize Logic
What is Randomize Logic?
Randomize Logic allows you to automatically shuffle the order of answer options or the sequence of questions or blocks for each participant. This helps reduce bias caused by fixed ordering and improves the quality of your data.
Purpose
Use randomization when you want to:
- Minimize position bias (e.g., always picking the first option)
- Equalize visibility across options
- Rotate test concepts in A/B testing
- Avoid fatigue effects in long choices or repeated structures
Where Randomization Can Be Applied
Zykrr supports randomization in the following contexts:
Answer Options
- Applicable to:
- Multiple Choice (MCQ)
- Dropdown
- Checkbox
- Randomizes the order in which choices appear to each participant.
How to Configure in Zykrr
To randomize answer options:
- Click the pencil icon to edit the MCQ or dropdown question
- Scroll to “Advanced Settings”
- Toggle “Randomize options”
- Save the question
Use Case Examples
- Brand Recall Test: Randomize list of brands so no brand always appears on top
- Product Feature Prioritization: Show features in different orders to each respondent
- Concept Evaluation: Rotate 3 design concepts randomly across participants
Best Practices
- Use randomization where option order may influence answers
- Avoid randomizing if sequence matters (e.g., chronological steps, rating scales)
- Label your options clearly with Short Codes as they may appear in any order
- Make sure you do not change the option value assigned to each option. If you need to delete or add new option, assign new option values
Limitations
- You cannot randomize columns in grid questions
- Randomization cannot be applied to piped text or logic-based dependent options
- Use with caution when applying logic rules tied to specific option positions
