Q08
AI Interview
Probe the tension in this respondent's answers between how much they enjoy shopping (or find it a chore) and how often they buy on impulse. Ask them to walk through their most recent unplanned purchase — what triggered it, how they felt afterward, and whether it fits the pattern in their agree/disagree ratings. If they said shopping helps them relax, explore whether that clashes with any guilt they reported after impulse buys, and if they rated browsing-for-fun low, ask what actually gets them to shop when they don't strictly need something.
Q09
Multiple Choice
Which age range do you fall into?
- Under 18
- 18-24
- 25-34

AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes a matrix and max-diff battery to segment respondents on planning-vs-impulse, price-vs-brand, and browsing-for-fun-vs-necessity dimensions
- Pairs the psychographic battery with an AI follow-up interview that probes the tension between stated shopping attitudes and the story behind a respondent's most recent unplanned purchase
- Captures behavioral data (recent unplanned purchase frequency, spend split across categories via constant sum) alongside attitudinal scales, not just self-reported preferences
- Opens and closes with clear chat messages framing the study and closing out the respondent experience, plus standard demographic classification questions for segment cross-tabs
QuestionPro
Shopping Life Style Battery Survey TemplateThis is a directly comparable static template covering shopping lifestyle and psychographic attitudes, built on QuestionPro's established survey platform. It appears to be a fielding-ready questionnaire rather than a report-generating research tool, so it likely stops at data collection. QuestionPro is a broad-purpose survey platform, so this template is one of many rather than a specialized shopper-motivation instrument.
What it does well
- Established, mature survey platform with broad question-type support
- Template is purpose-built around shopping lifestyle attitudes, aligning topically with retail/CPG research needs
- Likely supports standard survey logic (skip/branching) common to QuestionPro's platform
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe the reasoning behind a respondent's answers — appears to be a fixed, static question set
- No indication of automated per-response quality scoring or an auto-generated narrative report
- No transparent, published prompt/methodology since there's no AI-driven questioning involved
