The Likert type question is used to determine the respondent attitude or feeling on a particular specific item. There are numerous ways to set up the answer types on the Likert scale; see the related links.
To create a Likert scale questionnaire, first define the statements or questions to be rated. Then, choose a scale, such as a 5-point scale ranging from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree." Next, present the statements along with the scale and ask respondents to select the option that best represents their opinion. Finally, analyze the responses by calculating averages or percentages for each statement.
Absolutely. SPSS doesn't care how you collect data; it just analyzes that data that you input. Likert scale data is usually treated as continuous, although this practice is not without some controversy from more conservative researchers.

A semantic differential scale measures the meaning of concepts or objects along a continuum, while a Likert scale measures attitudes or opinions by asking respondents to indicate their level of agreement with a series of statements. Semantic differential scales often use polar opposite adjectives to rate objects, while Likert scales typically use a range of responses (e.g., strongly agree to strongly disagree).
The Likert Scale
See the related link for more information. The Likert scale with 5 points typically has a middle neutral (neither agree or disagree) choice. In the 4-point scale, the neutral choice is removed, so that person who is uncertain is forced to lean (even if slightly) one way or the other.
