The Likert scale is a type of summated rating scale where participants indicate their level of agreement or disagreement with a statement using a range of response options, typically consisting of 5 or 7 points between verbal anchors. It does not generate ratio data, is not particularly difficult to construct, and allows for participants to express extreme views.
