4 point scale survey

    • Should survey designers omit a midpoint?

      Based on their findings, the researchers recommended that when survey designers need to minimize the misuse of a midpoint, it is better to omit the midpoint on coarse scales (scales with few anchors) or increase scale sensitivity (by using many anchors) when including a midpoint.


    • How many'strongly agree' & 'decided' questions should be included in a survey?

      Strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree, strongly disagree. More than 7 is too complex. Keep scale categories clear for respondents. Low High High Low Low High Low High In some cases, it may be useful to include reverse-worded questions or scales to avoid the bias that occurs when respondents check “agree” to all questions.


    • How do survey designers create accurate and reliable data?

      To generate accurate and reliable data, survey designers need to be sure that their survey items actually measure what the designers intended to measure (validity). To test for consistency (reliability), designers will use a set of multiple related survey items.

      This white paper is the first in a series on survey design best practices. It presents SMG’s research findings and thought leadership on the best practice usage of a five-point, ordinal rating scale. Setting your scale for success serves as a foundation for designing surveys that excel at respondent data collection.

      A four-point Likert scale is an ordinal scale (as shown in . Figure 3). Unlike an inter val scale, an average score of “2.5” obtained from a four-point Likert scale has as little meaning as a score of “fair and a half” from a scale labeled poor, fair, good, and excellent (Kuzon, Urbanchek, & McCabe, 1996, p. 266). With ordinal data, one ...

      A Likert survey question is a specific type of question that collects rank ordered responses to assess levels of satisfaction, quality, importance, agreement, disagreement, or frequency. Often, we are interested in concepts that cannot be easily captured in a dichotomous variable (yes/no) or in a strictly quantitative way (# of visits, SAT scores).
