Exhaustive (also exhaustive : according to Duden also detailed, detailed, thorough ) is a conceptual relationship requirement for answer options as a pair of terms with disjoint in the questionnaire construction and question formulation . A question is formulated exhaustively if each respondent can assign himself to at least one answer option.
