Categorical data
Yes/no questions, demographic categories
Best templates: Bar charts, pie charts
For questions where respondents choose between categories, such as “yes” or “no,” bar charts or pie charts are perfect for showing the distribution of answers clearly and simply. These visualizations make it easy to compare responses at a glance.
Ordinal data
Likert scales or ranked responses
Best templates: Stacked bar charts
For responses where participants rank or rate options (like rating satisfaction from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”), a stacked bar chart shines. It shows the full range of responses for each question in one view, making it simple to spot trends and patterns in how people feel.
Text data
Open-ended responses
Best templates: Word cloud
When dealing with open-ended questions, where respondents share thoughts in their own words, word clouds and summary charts work wonders. They help highlight frequently mentioned keywords or themes, making sense of qualitative data at a glance.
