Likert scale

A Likert Scale is a tool used to measure people's attitudes or opinions on a specific topic by asking them to rate statements along a scale. Typically, it ranges from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree," with options like "agree," "neutral," and "disagree" in between. For example, in a survey about general knowledge, a question might ask, "I am confident in my knowledge of world history," and respondents would select their level of agreement. This method helps researchers quantify opinions and better understand public sentiment on various issues.
