Choosing the right word

- 質問用紙しつもんようしnounA literal term for a questionnaire as a sheet of paper with questions on it. It is less common than アンケート and is mainly used when referring to the physical document itself rather than the survey.
- 調査票ちょうさひょうnounA technical term for a questionnaire instrument used in research or statistical surveys. Less common in daily conversation; appropriate when discussing formal data-collection documents in academic or official contexts.
- アンケート用紙アンケートようしnounRefers specifically to the questionnaire form, the physical sheet or document that respondents fill in. Use it when you want to distinguish the form itself from the survey as a whole; otherwise アンケート alone is enough.
- 質問表しつもんひょうnounA less common word for a questionnaire as a list or table of questions. It is seldom the word you want in everyday situations, where アンケート is the natural choice; it appears mostly in formal written contexts.
「アンケート」 is the everyday word for a questionnaire or survey; the other four are more specific or less common terms for the printed form or document itself, so use 「アンケート」 unless you need to refer explicitly to the paper.
