Gender and age (question type)

The Gender and age question type lets you collect both demographics in a single question.

To optimise survey length, the platform automatically fills in responses and skips the question when:

• The respondent has answered it in a previous survey
• Demographic data is provided by a panel provider

Responses are saved in the respondent’s browser and are automatically reused for future surveys. Therefore, if you plan to collect data from different respondents on the same device, please use multiple choice and number input question types instead.
