Abstract: A system and method for generating and distributing a survey includes an executable survey generation application. The survey generation application permits a survey designer to select at least one survey component template associated with a type of survey question from a repository pane of the survey generation application. Selection of the survey component template creates a corresponding survey component within at least one of a working pane and a review pane of the survey generation application. The survey designer may edit the survey component to include desired survey content by entering desired parameters within a data entry pane of the survey generation application. The completed survey may then be distributed to desired recipients by the survey designer activating a publish control of the survey generation application.
