There are 5 common problem types: ***Checkboxes, Dropdown, Multiple Choice, Numerical Input*** and ***Text Input***. You may also create a problem from scratch by selecting '***Blank Common Problem*** '.&#x20;

![List of Common Problem Types in Studio](https://670111484-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M4y57zV2xVTpLls44ok%2F-MBVGq1JJmA5DDkdg7Xl%2F-MBVXm1_vj-PpEWK_XjD%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-07-05%20at%2021.54.10.png?alt=media\&token=e659c74c-6dd3-425d-8c7b-0cd84800d154)
