Engagement questions
The first question presented to a respondent is usually an engagement question. These questions are typically about an exciting or controversial current topic and are designed to grab the respondent's attention.
Engagement questions are generally syndicated.
Value questions

Value Questions might be syndicated or custom.
Profile questions
The third question is typically a profile question. Profile questions help classify respondents regarding gender, age, and other demographic factors.
Profile questions are usually syndicated.
