The good: your construct of interest.• Question should ask about your construct of interest

measure your construct of interest as you’ve operationally defined it
• Question and scale capture only your construct of interest and nothing else

The bad: random error.• Question or scale uses complex language, grammar• Question or scale has multiple interpretations• Question is double barreled • Scale is too sensitive, not sensitive enough• Scale has no verbal labels• Scale is not construct-specific• Number of scale points is even

The truly ugly: systematic error.
• Question or scale is unbalanced, leading• Question or scale induces acquiescence bias• Setting induces transactional bias• Order induces carryover effect
