Többszöges

Többszöges is a Hungarian term that translates to "multiple choice" in English. It refers to a question format where respondents are presented with a set of possible answers and are required to select one or more of them. This type of question is widely used in educational assessments, surveys, and standardized tests. The purpose of multiple choice questions is to gauge a respondent's knowledge, understanding, or opinion by offering a defined range of options.

The effectiveness of a multiple choice question depends on the quality of the options provided. A good multiple choice question typically includes a clear and unambiguous stem (the question or incomplete statement) and several plausible distractors (incorrect options). The correct answer should be clearly identifiable for those who possess the required knowledge, while the distractors should be incorrect but tempting enough to challenge respondents who are less certain.

Multiple choice questions can be designed in various formats, including single-choice, where only one answer is correct, and multiple-response, where two or more answers may be correct. They are valued for their objectivity in scoring and their efficiency in covering a broad range of topics within a limited time. However, poorly constructed multiple choice questions can lead to confusion, guessing, and may not accurately reflect a respondent's true understanding.
