Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The semantic differential scale involves rating a target object on a series of bipolar adjectives, such as good-bad, happy-sad, etc. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of a person's subjective evaluation of the object in question. The Likert scale is also an interval scale, but it is not specifically designed for translating qualitative judgments. The lifestyle inventory scale and polar differential scale are not widely used or recognized interval scales.
