Rensis Likert

Rensis Likert was an American social psychologist best known for developing the Likert Scale, a popular method for measuring attitudes and opinions in surveys. This scale allows respondents to express their level of agreement or disagreement with a statement, typically using a range from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree." Likert’s work has influenced research in psychology, sociology, and business, enabling more nuanced analysis of people's feelings and perceptions. He also contributed to the study of organizational behavior and management, emphasizing the importance of employee feedback in improving workplaces.
