- One Line (you write a question and they will answer with a line they write themselves)
- Radio (the user can choose one answer from a selection of bubbles - you can add or subtract answers up to a max of 10)
- Check (like Radio except this allows for multiple answer boxes to be checked)

- Multiple Choice (like dropdown but with multiple answers shown at once)
