Question Type: Triangle

Question Type: Triangle

Overview

In Triangle questions panelists are presented with a total of 3 samples, two of one product and one of another. They are then asked to taste the samples in front of them from left to right. After they have tasted all three samples they are asked to select the different sample. 

Unlike most other question types, the Triangle question is not an option to be added to a new test. Instead, we distribute with the software a pre-set Triangle test type template for you to use in a click of a button! 

If you accidentally delete the Triangle question from your test, don't worry. It will become available in the list of questions to add back into your test.

Show feedback
Select one of the options:

  1. None: The feedback will not be displayed to the panelists. This is an ideal option for real product testing.

  2. Immediately following question: The feedback will display right after the Triangle question. This is a good option for training purposes if there are no follow up questions in the test.

  3. End of cycle:  The feedback will display after all the questions in the test are seen in the cycle. This is an ideal option for training purposes if there are follow up questions, such as Comment or Choose. With this option selected, the panelist responses to the follow up questions will not be influenced by the Triangle feedback.
