A Likert Scale Questionnaire is one where the subjects are asked to mark how much they agree with the point of view in the item. Rensis Likert devised it first.
An item in a Likert Questionnaire could be "People who commit murder should be executed."
The format for a five-point Likert scale could be:
# Strongly disagree # Disagree # Neither agree nor disagree # Agree # Strongly Agree The results are either analyzed separately, or the whole scale may be totalled or summed. Because of this, Likert Scales are often called "Summative Scales".

'Chestionare' is a Romanian word which means to quiz or interrogate. The direct translation of the word is Questionnaire in English. A questionnaire is a type of survey.
a quiz is spelled 'un questionnaire' or 'un quizz' in French. A quiz where possible answers are written down for you to choose is called 'un QCM' (Questionnaire à Choix Multiples'
The participants in the study were asked to complete a questionnaire about their dietary habits.
The word "questionnaire" takes two N's because it is derived from the word "question" and the suffix "-naire," which is used to form nouns denoting a person or thing that is connected with or involved in the action of the base word. The double N is required to maintain the correct spelling and pronunciation of the word.
real definition of likert scale?
It depends on the specific likert scale, but generally it is the ordinal level
Can a 3-point scale also be called a Likert scale?? PS
To analyze a Likert scale questionnaire, first, you quantify the responses by assigning numerical values to each scale point (e.g., 1 for "Strongly Disagree" to 5 for "Strongly Agree"). Next, calculate descriptive statistics such as means, medians, and standard deviations to summarize the data. You can also conduct inferential statistics, like t-tests or ANOVA, to compare groups or correlations to explore relationships between items. Finally, visualize the results using graphs or charts to help interpret and present the findings clearly.
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.
A Likert scale is considered a quantitative measurement tool because it assigns numerical values to responses and allows for numerical analysis of data.
I made up a questionnaire of 35 questions comprised of mostly close-ended questions and Likert scale. I tested reliability of my questionnaire though SPSS and it gives me a result which shows if i delete more than 15 questions, my questionnaire will be reliable. But then i am afraid my questionnaire will get very short and i might get questioned on my defense day. So what is the right number of questions that are enough for an APA style quantitative research method? (research is on women higher education, resources and hurdles)

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.
its mostly used in scaling responses in questioners and surveys
The correct formula is: 1.5 x (N-1) +1 where N is the score on a 7 point scale.
