Testinvite provides a wide range of question types that can be included in your tests to effectively evaluate various skills, competencies, and personality traits.
Multiple choice questions
A multiple choice question is a type of question that presents a set of possible answers, and the respondent is asked to select one or more of those answers as the correct response.
Multiple choice questions may incorporate visual elements such asimages, audio, and video, as well as mathematical expressions and formulas in both the question prompt and answer choices.
The arrangement of the answer choices can be randomized for each individual taking the test.
Individual weighting can be assigned to each answer choice. The weight impacts the scoring of the multiple choice question.
You can set a minimum selection requirement for your multiple choice question, specifying the minimum number of answer choices that must be selected.
You can set a maximum selection requirement for your multiple choice question, specifying the maximum number of answer choices that must be selected.
When your multiple choice question allows for the selection of multiple answers, you can set a scoring threshold for automatic evaluation. If the test-taker's score falls below this threshold, no points will be awarded.
The answer choices can be presented horizontally, vertically, inside a grid or within a dropdown menu.
Including a hint in the question is possible. The test-taker can access the provided hint at any time while answering the question, which can contain formatted text, images, audio, video, mathematical formulas or expressions.
You can create feedback for your question using various media such as formatted text, images, audio, and video. Feedback can be shown either while taking the test after the question has been answered or after the test has been finished.
Previewing the question while constructing it is possible. You can also test the automatic scoring at any point during the process.
A true-false question is a type of multiple choice question that requires the respondent to determine if a statement is true or false. It is a binary question, meaning there are only two possible answers: either "true" or "false".
Listening questions
A listening question is a type of assessment question that requires the test-taker to listen to audio or spoken content and then answer questions based on what they have heard.

They can also be used in other subjects, such as history or social studies, to assess the test-taker's listening comprehension skills.
The aim of listening questions is to assess the test-taker's ability to understand and comprehend spoken language, as well as their knowledge of the subject being tested.
The format of listening questions can vary, encompassing multiple-choice, true-false, matching, long-answer, short-answer, and speaking questions.
It is possible to upload custom listening audio and configure the extent to which the test-taker is able to listen to it, including the number of times listening is permitted and whether the test-taker is allowed to pause during the audio.
Multiple questions related to a single audio clip can be provided.
Video questions
A video question is a type of assessment question that involves a video clip and accompanying questions to evaluate the test-taker's understanding and comprehension of the video content.

The format of video questions can vary, encompassing multiple-choice, true-false, matching, long-answer, short-answer, and speaking questions.
You can upload your own custom video and set the parameters for how the test-taker is able to view it, such as the number of times it can be watched and whether pausing is allowed during the video.
Your video content can be accompanied by multiple questions that are related to the video content.
Matching questions
A matching question is a type of assessment question that requires the test-taker to match items from two or more lists or columns.
The goal of a matching question is to assess the test-taker's ability tounderstand relationships, compare and contrast information, and make connections between items.
The test-taker is presented with a list of items in one column and another list of items in a second column, and is asked to match items from each column by selecting the correct corresponding item.
You can create a list of options for all the items in the left column and determine the number of times each option can be paired with an item.
Alternatively, each item in the left column can have its own unique options.
You can specify the required number of matches for the answer to be accepted.
You can set how each pairing affects the overall score of the answer.
You can determine the impact on the score if any of the items are not paired with any options.
You can establish a minimum score requirement, below which the answer will not receive any points.
Sorting questions
A sorting question is a type of matching question in which the test-taker is required to rearrange a set of items into a specific order. The items can be words, phrases, images, or any other type of content. The test-taker is given a list of items and must arrange them in the correct order by assigning each item a numerical position.
The sorting question can be used to assess a wide range of skills, including categorization, sequencing, and prioritization. The question can be automatically graded, and the test-taker's response can be compared against a correct answer key to determine the score.
You can determine the minimum and maximum number of items that must be sorted correctly for the answer to be considered valid.
You can configure the effect each sorting has on the overall score of the answer.
You can define the impact on the score if any of the items are not properly sorted.
You can establish a minimum score threshold, below which the answer will not be awarded any points.
