Who the fuck uses 7 point scales to rate something

[-] everyone_said@lemmy.world 59 points 7 months ago

A 7 point, or Likert scale, is extremely common in a lot of fields, particularly psychology and social sciences.

What makes it really fun if your psych asks for multiple answers, some in a 7 point scale and some at a 10 point scale. And then forgets to say it every time. So you have to ask. :l

The Kinsey Scale, for example.

4 = Neutral
3 or 5 = Little
2 or 6 = Somewhat
1 or 7 = Heavily/Likely

1-7 works very well for scales involving how you feel about something

e.g. Kinsey Scale has 1 as only interested in opposite sex and 7 as only interested in same sex. 4 is could go either way, 3 is slightly more into opposite, 6 is heavily into same sex, etc.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
