Sorry for the late reply. I've been running between meetings for a few
days.
Say that a Question has a field called "type".
In your model you could use that "key" to help in stats calculation
and even storage.
In your views you could select the correct element based on that key:
echo $this->element('form_'.$data['Question']['type'])
If you have a big if-else clause you can almost always do without it.
If you have some other data related to each type. Store it in an array
and call it like this:
$some_data = $this->type_data[$data['Question']['type']]
If you need to Store the answers in a different table for each type of
question:
$model_name = $data['Question']['type'];
$this->$model_name->findBySomething(...);
