Rank order question

Question

Hi,WRT to Rank order question. I have a question that say rank top 3 form 8 options say and the respondent answers only 3. The rest 5 are just sitting as Qualtrics displays them in random order. Is there a way to prevent this? I am aware if the respondent does not answer the D&A tab shows blank, but what if they dont bother after the 3? It skews the analysis and is false data then. can it be prevented in Qualtrics?

@Mdarkuka Qualtrics provides a few different types of ranking questions. Some of which you can addvalidation rules, however depends on question type used. More options here:Rank Order Question (qualtrics.com)Assuming you are using the drag to rank,if a respondents only moves 3 of the 8, all 8will have a value. Qualtrics won’t be able to tell that the respondent didn’t leave the 4th to 8th option there as they were also happy with that order.I’d recommend using select, rank and group - or split across 2 questions with piped logic, whererespondents need to make the selection of which 3 out of the 8 matters the most and then rank only the 3 which have selected. This is easier for respondent to answer, and easier for you to see their selection and ranking.Another alternative, is utilise the radio button or text box rank options, with theseyou can allow respondents to skip items or force response for all.
