I'm creating 3 survey instruments that will have 96 pairs of items. The respondents will select which of each pair best relates to the particular stage covered in the survey. Please see attached screenshot for a concept.

The items need to be shown in pairs but randomly distributed (a-b or b-a).

The attached LSS file shows my attempt to accomplish this using an Array with subquestions and one answer (Select Stage 5). One major issue is that both radio buttons can be selected for each pair and if that is done, there is no unselecting option. The user is stuck.

My preference is to have the radio button on the left and only allowed one per pair.

Is there a way to accomplish this in LimeSurvey?

Is there a reason why the List (Radio) question type is not suitable?
I may have overlooked a requirement, but left aligned radio element, random order and enforcing only one of two as an answer will work with that questiontype.

 

Oh, *sigh* -- You're absolutely right! Thanks. That will work nicely. Thank you!
