Guiding creation of an electronic survey
This disclosure generally covers systems and methods that provide guidance to create an electronic survey. In some embodiments, the systems and methods identify and provide a suggested survey topic—with a corresponding option to create an electronic survey—based on user input. In some embodiments, the systems and methods identify and provide one or more suggested electronic survey questions based on user input. In such embodiments, the systems and methods provide, for example, components of suggested electronic survey questions, previously composed and benchmarking electronic survey questions, or suggested revisions to electronic survey questions. In addition, the systems and methods can provide entire premade electronic surveys based on receiving user input from a survey administrator.

provide, for presentation on the administrator client device, an additional suggested revision rephrasing the additional electronic survey question using positive words.
10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to apply natural language processing to the additional electronic survey question to identify the at least two negative words by detecting one or more of negative words or negative prefixes within the additional electronic survey question.
11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
apply natural language processing to the electronic survey question to identify the compound question by identifying the clusters of objects of the single verb within the electronic survey question; and
provide the suggested revision by providing the suggested revision separating the electronic survey question into:
the first electronic survey question comprising the single verb and a first object of the clusters of objects; and
the second electronic survey question comprising the single verb and a second object of the clusters of objects.
12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
apply natural language processing to the electronic survey question to identify the compound question by identifying the clusters of verbs and objects for the single subject within the electronic survey question; and
provide the suggested revision by providing the suggested revision separating the electronic survey question into:
the first electronic survey question comprising the single subject, a first verb of the clusters of verbs and objects, and a first object of the clusters of verbs and objects; and
the second electronic survey question comprising the single subject, a second verb of the clusters of verbs and objects, and a second object of the clusters of verbs and objects.
13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to provide, for display within the updated graphical user interface, a detection notice communicating that the electronic survey question includes the compound question.
