ratings scale

A ratings scale is a tool used to measure opinions, feelings, or levels of satisfaction by assigning numerical or descriptive values. For example, a 1-to-5 scale might have 1 as "poor" and 5 as "excellent," allowing individuals to express their perceptions in a standardized way. Ratings scales help in comparing responses, identifying patterns, and making informed decisions based on collective feedback. They are commonly used in surveys, reviews, and evaluations across various fields to quantify subjective experiences in a clear and consistent manner.
