Want to show two random choices from set of choices | XM Community
Skip to main content
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
