Below are the two Likert scales, the four-point and the five-point. slide 2 of 3. The Likert Item In making questionnaires that use the Likert Scale, not just any type of question will suffice. In fact, there is a format that must be followed in formulating the questions. The questions should ask for an agreement or disagreement. Below is an example of a Likert item: The Bush Doctrine is an effective foreign policy.
Marking âNeither agree nor disagreeâ is the same as not responding to the item. When using a 5 point scale to score responses, the neutral middle (non-responses) gets a score of 3. When calculating item means and standard deviations, the 3âs have the effect of pulling the item means to the middle of the scale. This causes items on a survey to look more similar. In a survey, I want to want respondents to think about the item and report an opinion, no matter how weak the opinion is.
