Likert (1967), Lankford (1994) and Veal (1997) list the advantages of the Likert method as including:
1- the fact that the method is based entirely on empirical data regarding subjects'
responses rather than the subjective opinions of judges;
2- the fact that this method produces more homogeneous scales and increases the
probability of a unitary attitude being measured; as a result, validity (construct and
concurrent) and reliability are reasonably high; and
3- greater ease of preparation.

How does guttman scale differ from the likert scale?
Guttman scale is a one way street. Meaning it only has positive values. common example are distance (cm/m/km) or weight (mg/g/kg)Likert scale is two way street. It has both positive and negative values. Commonly used are survey on perception.

How do I make a likert scale questionnaire?
To create a Likert scale questionnaire, first define the statements or questions to be rated. Then, choose a scale, such as a 5-point scale ranging from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree." Next, present the statements along with the scale and ask respondents to select the option that best represents their opinion. Finally, analyze the responses by calculating averages or percentages for each statement.

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.
