In the previous article, we focused on closed-ended types of questions (dichotomous, trichotomous and polytomous). We will now introduce you to a worldwide popular type of closed-ended question – the Likert scale.<\/p>\n

The Likert scale<\/h2>\n

This is a specific polytomous question that usually examines a respondent’s attitude, satisfaction, or experience<\/strong> with a particular subject. It is similar to a closed-ended question with a choice from available options, but the answers are fixed and there are usually five of them.<\/p>\n

There are several possible forms of using the Likert scale. Its form depends mainly on the purpose of using the question.<\/p>\n

Expressed by text<\/h2>\n

A classical text question describing the respondent’s satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\"Expressed<\/p>\n

Expressed as a percentage<\/h2>\n

A popular form of the question, using percentage to express the satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\"Expressed<\/p>\n

Expressed by values<\/h2>\n

A Likert scale using concrete values as options.<\/p>\n

\"Expressed<\/p>\n

Expressed in a graphical way<\/h2>\n

For instance, asterisks are often used for evaluation (a form a value scale), which you can adjust to your liking. In Survio<\/a>, The rating can be done on three to ten stars. The ideal number on the Likert scale is, again, five symbols (values).<\/p>\n

\"Expressed<\/p>\n

In the next part of our series, we will focus on another type of closed-ended questions – a matrix of questions<\/a>.<\/p>\n
