Rating scale format

A rating scale format is a method used to evaluate or assess something, such as a person's knowledge or performance, by assigning a numerical score or category. For example, in a general knowledge quiz, participants might rate their understanding of a topic on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 means "very little knowledge" and 5 means "very high knowledge." This format helps quantify subjective opinions, making it easier to analyze and compare results, identify strengths and weaknesses, and track progress over time.
