Built on single choice. 5-Point Single Select renders a standard single-select question as a vertical scale with a sliding "window" highlight, moved by large +/- buttons instead of tapping individual radio options directly.
What respondents see#
A vertical list of up to five answer options with a highlighted "window" over one option at a time. Large +/- buttons move the highlight up or down the list; the respondent confirms their selection once the window sits on their answer.
When to use it#
- Single-select rating questions on mobile, where large, deliberate +/- taps reduce mis-taps compared to a tight radio list.
- Concept-rating or agreement scales where a physical "moving window" feels more tactile than a checklist.
Configuring it in the builder#
Drag 5-Point Single Select from the Custom Interfaces group. Per-choice text and images are authored in the standard answer-list editor, same as native single choice; the settings below only control layout and animation.

Logic support#
Built on single choice, so it supports the same condition operators as a standard single-choice question (Selected, Not selected, Is any of, Is none of, Answered, Not answered). See Logic, Flow & Conditions.
