====== Likert scale question structure ======
Wikipedia has a very useful article describing [[wp>Likert scale]] questions. These are used to assess degrees of agreement or disagreement with a statement. Obviously there are countless statements that could be made into these kinds of question, so the job of formulating which ones are significant needs to be done by people with an insight into what matters to people in the field they are dealing with.

The classic 5-point Likert scale has the two ends of the spectrum being “strongly agree” and “strongly disagree”, and the labels for the options are as follows:
  * Strongly agree
  * Mostly agree
  * Neither agree nor disagree
  * Mostly disagree
  * Strongly disagree

But there are other possible reasonable numbers of options. To allow for this, the number of options is open and given by [[ch:fields:Qni]]. To use any specific number for Qni, the labels need to be formulated for that number of options.


===== Data structure =====
Only one extra field is optional beyond what is specified in the [[ch:ia:question-info]]:
  * [[ch:fields:QPos]]

If QPos is not given, [[ch:fields:QTitle]] is used as a default.
===== Similar structures =====

If there are two things to be compared, rather than a single statement, better to use the [[aorbq|alternative preference question]] structure.
===== Commentary =====
