Which type of feedback is general or vague?

• A. Specific feedback
• B. Constructive feedback
• C. Positive feedback
• D. General feedback

Answer: (D)

General feedback is feedback that is broad and non-specific. It doesn’t tell you exactly what to change, so it’s not as helpful for improving a skill. For example, saying “Nice job” or “Good effort” acknowledges the performance but doesn’t point to what to adjust next. In contrast, specific feedback names particular aspects of performance to improve, such as alignment, timing, or technique, giving a clear action to take. Constructive feedback combines useful detail with suggestions for improvement, and positive feedback can be specific as well. Because it describes a lack of detail and provides no concrete guidance, this type is the general or vague feedback.
