A good Likert scale
When Rensis Likert invented the Likert scale in 1932, he developed a balanced way to gather perceptual information from subjects. These surveys generally offered a statement and asked respondent to rank their agreement with the statement.
The original scale listed five possible responses from subjects. The responses were;
- Strongly Agree
- Agree
- Neither Agree nor Disagree
- Disagree
- Strongly Disagree
Too many of these customer surveys include scales that include a bias that makes the results at best unreliable. I commend Sears on providing a balance scale for their customers to use.
