[edit] Questionnaire versus survey
What is the difference between a survey and a questionnaire?
-
- A questionnaire given to a hundred people in order to estimate the views of a thousand similar people is a survey. A questionnaire given to a thousand people to determine their views is a census. That's pretty much it.
Questionaire is used to have an estimation on the total population. Where as survey helps in making good notes on the entire population.
- Survey is the general category. A questionnaire is a subset or a particular type (or part) of a survey. - IstvanWolf 02:19, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

- I see a survey and a questionnaire as two quite distinct concepts. A survey of people's opinions on current issues would probably use a questionnaire to help ensure that the same questions are asked across interviews, but surveys don't have to involve asking questions. For instance, a survey of the abundance of animals aross a certain region involves observing whether the animals are present, not asking them questions, so a questionnaire isn't needed. -- Avenue 05:04, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
