To clarify my problem: It`s a question on "How many people are working in your organisation". Range is from "0" to "500 or more". I used a stepping (=slider_acuracy) of 5 for this slider.

After pretesting I got two different kind of feedback:
"It`s really nice to have the slider with 5er-stepping" from bigger organisations and "It is annoying to not be able to distinguish between 6 or 9 people" from smaller organisations.

Thats why I want an acuracy of "1" for lower values and "5" for higher.


Nevertheless...thanks to all of you for trying to help me with my problems

The perfect question type for this kind of question:

Caters for all these issues:

Everyone can choose their level of accuracy.

Why no :
1st question 1 to 21, and put right part to more
If 1st questioi is 21 : show 2nd question (condition Q01.NAOK >= 21) ?

I'm looking for solutions to minimize the use of the keyboard on smartphones. I expect many participants using smartphones to answer the survey. In my opinion using the keyboard on a small screen is always a pain I try to avoid as much as possible/reasonable. Using a simple numerical input is definitely may way to go if I'm not happy with the slider-usabilty.

Using two sliders is an option, but I still hope to find a reasonable solution with only one slider. We'll see

Do be honest, the slider question is probably the worst question type you can choose for smartphones, in my opinion.

It is a lot easier to type a number on a smartphone, than to try to slide a slider into the right position. Also, the slider will require a lot more space which is also not ideal in small screens. Have you tried the slider question on a smartphone? And always keep in mind that some people have not the same motoric abilities than others.

Yes, I tried. And also got a lot of positive feedback after pretesting. But I tweaked a lot of CSS-code before I was happy with it.

I don't know how many used a smartphone in our pretest, but we definitely had a few users and no complains - despite the acuracy-problem.
