Hedonic scale

The Hedonic scale is a tool used to measure how much people like or dislike something, often in taste tests or product evaluations. It typically uses a numbered scale—such as from 1 to 9—where lower numbers indicate strong dislike, middle numbers are neutral, and higher numbers represent strong liking. Participants rate their preference based on their personal feelings, allowing researchers or companies to gather quantitative data on sensory experiences like flavor, aroma, or texture. This scale helps in assessing consumer preferences and improving products to match what people enjoy most.
