Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Likert scales are designed to be ordinal in measurement. This means that the responses are in a specific order, but the magnitude of the differences between them is not necessarily equal. For example, on a Likert scale with responses ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree," the responses have a clear order but the difference between "disagree" and "strongly disagree" may not be the same as the difference between "agree" and "strongly agree."
