    Hey guys, this is a severe error:
    You call radio-buttons “mutliple choice” (which are by nature not “multiple”).
    No one ever would look there if he searches for radio buttons.

    You have to name it “Single Choice” or “MCC” (Multiple Choice:Choose) or “Radio Button”

    Hey bydlo,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Many of our users are not technical, in which case the term “radio button” is confusing. It makes perfect sense to us, but we’re not an average user. For example, my parents would have no idea what a radio button is.

    For the term multiple choice, the best way to think of it is in the context of a multiple choice exam – each question can only have one answer.

    Hope that makes sense ??

    Sorry , but you are wrong.
    Multiple Choice exams offer (as the name says) for ever question multiple choices.
    Thats why we call them “multiple choice” and not “single choice”.
    What you offer under “Multiple Choice” are radio buttons and they do not allow multiple choices
    The term you use is definitely misleading.

    Just wanted to leave a note on this in case anyone stumbles upon this in the future, to prevent confusion.

    Multiple Choice does indeed refers to the format of question (field), not that there are multiple questions in a exam (form).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_choice

    Multiple choice is a form of an objective assessment in which respondents are asked to select the only correct answer out of the choices from a list.
