A Likert Scale question is a special form of multiple choice question for a single response, in which the options are organised in a balanced Likert Scale.  The author may choose the most appropriate Likert Scale from the range of available scales (all having five options distributed between two extreme positions:

• Agreement: Strongly Agree - Strongly Disagree
• Frequency: Always - Never
• Frequency: Almost Always - Almost Never
• Importance: Very Important - Unimportant
• Likelihood: Almost Always True - Almost Never True
• Likelihood: Very Likely - Very Unlikely
• Quality: Excellent - Extremely Poor
• Truth: Completely True - Completely Untrue
• Difficyulty: Very Difficult - Very Easy
• Comparison: Much Less - Much More
• Comparison: Much Better - Much Worse

There is no "correct answer" option, nor is there any scoring option provided for use with Likert questions.  If these aere required, Facilitators should use a multiple choice question type instead.
