Likert Scale Data
If you have ever taken a survey, then you have been exposed to a “Likert-type” scale. Often, this comes in a set of statements, to which you are asked to rate your level of agreement.
For example, “Please rate your level of agreement (Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, Strongly Agree) to the following statement: This website is easy to use.”
Although it is debated within the measurement community and approaches vary, Likert data is most traditionally/safely treated as Ordinal.
In a discussion post, explain why the Ordinal data type fits.
Do you agree with this categorization?
What assumption(s) would have to be made about the values of Likert scale to treat the data as Interval/Ratio
How would I start a discussion if I pick the option to agree about “this website is easy to use” because the instructions are clear and easy to read?
