Is it ever okay to eliminate a survey response?
And once you have, you can delete their responses. When a respondent’s answer contradicts their response to another question, it’s clear that they’re either being dishonest or careless (or even both!). You may be able to find these inconsistencies by applying multiple filters.

To open a survey, because they require little time and effort and therefore are easy for people to answer. This is called the foot-in-the-door principle: once someone commits to answering the first question, they may be more likely to answer the open-ended questions that follow.
When do you use a nominal question in a survey?
Nominal questions work well when there is a limited number of categories for a given question (see the example above). They’re easy for people to answer and for you to create graphs and trends from, but the downside is that you may not be offering enough categories for people to reply.
