• CREATIVE THINKING. Your giving your responders the freedom to think beyond the obvious and tap into their imagination.
• COMMUNICATION. Since answers require more than a one-word response, your giving your responders the opportunity to practice and stretch their vocabulary and communication skills.
• CONFIDENCE. Open-ended questions empower your responders to express themselves, which builds self-confidence in sharing their thoughts and ideas with you and others.
