Likert scales ask respondents to indicate their attitudes by checking how strongly they agree or disagree with statements. The statements are carefully constructed and range from very positive to very negative attitudes toward a particular object or topic. Constant-sum scales require respondents to allocate a fixed sum of points or money to various attributes or options, while Stapel scales use a single adjective (e.g. positive or negative) and a numbered scale without a neutral midpoint. Graphic rating scales ask respondents to rate something along a continuum using a graphic or visual representation, such as a line or scale.
