Want to show two random choices from set of choices

Question

Hi,

I have seven sets of choices in a question, want to show only two choices one from a set and the other one from another set, and the user will select one out of the two then user will be shown next two choices.

My question looks like this

Which one of these choices is more important to you?

Minimising Exposure to things that might make me ill appears as a choice OR Accumulating wealth ( and they would be shown only TWO choices and they select one or the other)

And then, they would be asked again in exactly the same format, presented with two more choices, one from each category.

So the categories with 6 choices in each category (divided by the space in between ) in full are:

1. Staying safe

2. Protecting myself from injury

3. Ensuring my personal safety

4. Avoiding dangerous places

5. Staying out of harm’s way

6. Keeping myself free from danger

7. Minimising exposure to things that might make me ill

8. Making sure I don’t get sick

9. Protecting myself from diseases

10. Avoiding any foods that might be contaminated

11. Maintaining practices to avoid illnesses

12. Being able to avoid sick people so I don’t get sick

13. Accumulating wealth

14. Acquiring resources

15. Ensuring my financial success in life

16. Seeking economic prosperity

17. Accruing resources for the future

18. Making sure I earn a high income

19. Looking for love

20. Trying to find a relationship

21. Finding a new romantic connection

22. Seeking a new romantic partner

23. Searching for a romantic companion

24. Seeking a love connection

25. Striving for success

26. Seeking high status

27. Climbing the social ladder

28. Pursing power and/or influence

29. Seeking social standing

30. Seeking elite status

31. Socialising with others

32. Building social connections

33. Participating in social activities

34. Connecting with others

35. Building a social community

36. Maintaining a social life

37. Caring for family members

38. Nurturing family relationships

39. Tending to the needs of family

40. Sustaining family connections

41. Promoting family unity

42. Encouraging family involvement

Hopefully that makes sense!!

Any help would be highly appreciated

There are two ways. First way, you can use web services and pick the values from external coding using sorting algorithm (custom coding required to pull the information and save the data on database for equal randomization), or secondly, you can use Qualtrics internal feature. To show 2 different choices from different groups, First initialize the embedded field at the beginning of survey flow and then follow below steps.

You will have to create total 8 randomizers.

1st randomizer is to pick 2 groups out of 7 groups. Refer below screenshot.

Then second to 2 to 8 randomizers will use to pick 1 statement out of 6. Only two randomizers will be processed if there group value will be = 1 with the help of branch logic. E.g G1=1 then randomizer 2 will run, G2=1 then Randomizer will run. Please refer below screenshots for G1 and G2 Create the same logic for G3 to G7 sets.

Then apply the display logic on each question choice as follows.

Hi@ArunDubey,This is working fine, thanks for that. At the moment, it’s only showing two options, I want to ask all the options in the form of two. How can I loop through all the choices
