neutral  Lawyer-Linguist: Not enough context but in English it is normally interviewee/respondent, depending on whether an one-on-one interview or in response to some form of survey - we'd hardly use "the person being questioned" in translation, although this is the meaning.

agree  xxxjarry: With writeaway and Lawyer-Linquist. We shouldn't really bother answering questions with so little context/background!
