Electronically readable forms include radio-frequency identification (RFID ) devices enabling automated processing of the forms to obtain indicated responses to questions as well as entered information. In one embodiment, an electronical ly readable form (10) includes a substrate (12), a plurality of response areas (14A-14G) thereon, and a plurality of separate radio frequency identification (RFID) devices (20A- 20G) thereon that are associated with the response areas (14A-14G). The response areas (1 4A- 14G) may correspond with answers (16A-16G) to questions (18A-18C). Upon appropria te indication of a response within its associated response area (14A-14G), each RFID device (20A-20G) is enabled to transmit a code (22) in response to an activation signal (30) from an RFID reader unit (32). Each code (22) is different permitting a determination of which response areas (14A-14G) have responses indicated therein based on the codes (22) that are received by the RFID reader unit (32).
