A Likert scale is a widely used psychometric tool in surveys, designed to measure individuals' attitudes or opinions on a particular topic. Named after its creator Rensis Likert, the scale presents a series of statements or questions with response options ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree, including a neutral midpoint. Respondents select the option that best reflects their viewpoint. The scale provides a structured method for collecting quantitative data on subjective experiences, allowing researchers to analyze and compare attitudes effectively.
