Survey Text Questions

Survey Text Questions are not actually questions. They are a formattable text option that does not ask for a response from the subject. Text Questions are often used for instructions, descriptions, or any other text not requiring a response. If you want to add instructional information in the form of an image and not text, use a Survey Image Question.
