Likert Item

A Likert item is a common survey question that asks respondents to express their level of agreement or disagreement with a statement. It typically uses a scale, often ranging from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree," with options in between, such as "agree," "neutral," and "disagree." This format helps researchers measure attitudes, opinions, or feelings about a particular topic in a quantifiable way. For example, a question might read, "I enjoy learning new things," and respondents would select the option that best reflects their view, allowing for a nuanced understanding of their beliefs.
