Likert Scale

A type of closed question which is often used a way of measuring attitudes.  Respondents are asked to state on a scale (usually it is 1 -5 or 1 -7) how strongly they agree with a statement.  For example 1 could be strongly disagree and 5 could be strongly agree.  Named after its inventor Rensis Likert.
