Response Quality
Response Quality is AI-powered analysis that automatically detects low-quality or inattentive submissions, so you can trust the data behind your results. It looks for speeding, straight-lining, gibberish, profanity, and other tell-tale signs of careless responses.
Turning It On
The Response Quality card appears at the top of the Summary report in your survey’s Analyze tab.
- Open your survey and go to the Analyze tab
- Find the Response Quality card on the summary report
- Flip the switch from Disabled to Enabled
Your existing responses are queued for analysis in the background, and new responses are checked automatically as they arrive. Results appear on the card within a short while.
Response Quality is available on Professional, Team Professional, and Enterprise plans. On other plans the card shows an Upgrade option instead of the switch.
Reading the Results
Once enabled, expand the card to see three headline stats: how many responses were Checked, how many were Flagged, and an Avg. Quality score out of 100%. A flag breakdown lists exactly what was found.
| Flag | What it means |
|---|---|
| Speeding | Completed a page far faster than the expected reading time |
| Straight-lining | Picked the same answer for several questions in a row |
| Matrix pattern | Predictable pattern in a matrix question (e.g. A, B, A, B) |
| Short response | Open-ended answer much shorter than average |
| Single char | An answer that is just one meaningless character |
| Gibberish | Random or nonsensical text |
| Profanity | Inappropriate language |
| Copy-pasted | Answer text closely matches the question |
Each response also carries a Quality badge in the Responses view. Click it to see the score and the specific issues detected. See Individual Results for more.
Auto-Hiding Low-Quality Responses
Within the card you can enable Auto-hide low quality responses and set a threshold with the slider. Responses scoring below it are hidden automatically, and Apply to existing responses sweeps ones you already collected. Hidden responses stay out of your charts and exports until you choose to show them.
