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.
real definition of likert scale?
Absolutely. SPSS doesn't care how you collect data; it just analyzes that data that you input. Likert scale data is usually treated as continuous, although this practice is not without some controversy from more conservative researchers.
It depends on the specific likert scale, but generally it is the ordinal level

I made up a questionnaire of 35 questions comprised of mostly close-ended questions and Likert scale. I tested reliability of my questionnaire though SPSS and it gives me a result which shows if i delete more than 15 questions, my questionnaire will be reliable. But then i am afraid my questionnaire will get very short and i might get questioned on my defense day. So what is the right number of questions that are enough for an APA style quantitative research method? (research is on women higher education, resources and hurdles)
The Likert Scale
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.
its mostly used in scaling responses in questioners and surveys
