What question types does Xobin support?

Xobin offers a diverse range of question types to help you effectively evaluate candidates across different skills and job roles. Below is a guide to the question types you can use in your assessments.


  1. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)

Traditional multiple-choice questions with a single correct answer.

  • Best used for quick assessments of core concepts, factual knowledge, and theoretical understanding.


  1. Weighted MCQ Questions

Multiple-choice questions where each answer choice is assigned a different point value or weight.

  • Best used for evaluating nuanced decision-making, behavioral tendencies, or partial knowledge where some answers are stronger than others.


  1. Multiple Answer Questions (MAQ)

Questions where candidates can select more than one correct option from the choices provided.

  • Best used for multi-variable problem solving and comprehensive knowledge checks.
MAQ is currently available exclusively under My Questions.


  1. Subjective Questions

Open-ended questions that require candidates to provide detailed responses rather than selecting from predefined options. Responses can be submitted in the form of text, audio, video, or code.

  • Best used for evaluating communication skills, critical thinking, and a candidate's overall thought process.


  1. Coding Questions

Programming challenges designed to evaluate software development skills with integrated, real-time code execution and test cases.

  • Best used for technical interviews, backend and frontend engineering roles, and assessing hands-on problem-solving abilities.


  1. SQL Questions

Database-specific challenges where candidates write SQL queries to interact with a simulated database.

  • Best used for testing database management, data analysis, and querying skills.


  1. Assignment Questions

Practical, case-study-based questions where candidates upload files to demonstrate their skills in real-world scenarios.

  • Best used for extensive projects, design portfolios, data analysis presentations, or role-specific take-home tasks.


  1. Typing Questions

Timed text-copying challenges that measure a candidate's real-time typing speed and accuracy.

  • Best used for evaluating data entry operators, customer support agents, transcriptionists, and administrative roles where data input speed is essential.


Typing questions must be added in an independent section and cannot be mixed with other question types in the same section.
