Which measurement employs a five-point scale for ratings such as "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree"?

The Likert Scale is a measurement tool that uses a five-point scale to assess attitudes or opinions, often ranging from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree." This scale provides a way to quantify subjective assessments, allowing individuals to express varying degrees of agreement or disagreement with a statement. The format helps to capture the intensity of feelings, making it useful in surveys and research where nuanced responses are needed.

This type of scale is particularly valuable in evaluating participant feedback, satisfaction levels, or personal attitudes because it simplifies complex feelings into easily digestible numerical values for analysis. The clear gradation in responses supports statistical analysis, helping educators and researchers draw more robust conclusions from the data collected.

Other measurement tools like checklists focus on the presence or absence of specific items rather than measuring levels of agreement, and grading in absentia pertains to evaluating students without their presence, which is not related to the attitudinal survey context covered by the Likert Scale.
