360° feedback questions that actually tell you something

The questions are where most 360 reviews go wrong. Vague, leading, or personality-based questions get you vague answers. Below are example questions by category — the kind that surface real, specific feedback — plus the four rules that separate a good question from a useless one.

Short on time? Snap360 writes 15 questions like these for you from a short conversation, tuned to the person you want feedback on.

Four rules for a good question

Ask about behavior, not personality: Rate “communicates clearly,” not “is a good communicator.” Behaviors are observable; traits invite vague guesses.
Mix rating and open-ended: Ratings show you the pattern; open-ended answers tell you the story behind it. You need both.
Keep it specific: Generic questions get generic answers. “Listens to understand before responding” beats “Is a team player.”
Make room for the uncomfortable: The most useful question is often “what could they do differently?” Give people permission to answer it honestly.

Example questions by category

Rating questions use a 1–5 agree/disagree scale. Pair each category with one open-ended prompt for the story behind the numbers.

Communication

Communicates ideas clearly, even when the topic is complex.
Listens to understand before responding.
Keeps the right people informed without over-communicating.

Open-ended: When has this person communicated something especially well — or especially poorly? What happened?

Leadership & influence

Gives others credit and takes responsibility when things go wrong.
Makes decisions in a reasonable timeframe, even with incomplete information.
Helps the people around them do their best work.

Open-ended: Describe a moment when this person’s leadership made a real difference.

Collaboration

Is someone others want on their team.
Handles disagreement without making it personal.
Follows through on commitments to teammates.

Open-ended: What is it like to work with this person when things get stressful?

Growth & self-awareness

Seeks out feedback and acts on it.
Is aware of how their behavior affects others.
Stays composed under pressure.

Open-ended: What is one thing this person could do differently that would have an outsized impact?

Don’t want to write them yourself?

Writing fifteen sharp, non-generic questions is the hardest part of running a 360. Snap360 does it through a short AI-guided conversation: tell it who you want feedback on and what you care about, and it drafts questions tuned to that person — no template recycling.

Responses come back anonymously, and at three responses you get an AI insight report comparing how you see yourself with how others see you. Read how 360° feedback works →
