The disadvantage of using this type of scale is that you can not make statements about some percentage of the population "agreeing" or "disagreeing" with something. The population is not being described in an absolute sense. You can only compare answers across groups or across similar samples over time. Additionally the rankings are dependent on the particular list given. For example, you might say that ice cream is good on a three point scale but very good on a 5 point scale.

How do I make a likert scale questionnaire?

A Likert Scale Questionnaire is one where the subjects are asked to mark how much they agree with the point of view in the item. Rensis Likert devised it first. An item in a Likert Questionnaire could be "People who commit murder should be executed." The format for a five-point Likert scale could be: # Strongly disagree # Disagree # Neither agree nor disagree # Agree # Strongly Agree The results are either analyzed separately, or the whole scale may be totalled or summed. Because of this, Likert Scales are often called "Summative Scales".

How do you convert a 5 point likert scale to 4 point likert?

See the related link for more information. The Likert scale with 5 points typically has a middle neutral (neither agree or disagree) choice. In the 4-point scale, the neutral choice is removed, so that person who is uncertain is forced to lean (even if slightly) one way or the other.
