RESEARCH ORIENTED 

  1. Compare Variables: Does my question compare two or more distinct variables?

  2. Objectivity Test: Is it possible to objectively test my question?

  3. Bias Free:  Is my question free of personal opinion? 

When creating your questions, keep in mind they need to be oriented toward scientific testing.
