Best Answer

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. Hence a 5 Likert rating would give a 'rubric' of

  1. Strongly Disagree (-2)
  2. Disagree (-1)
  3. Neutral (0)
  4. Agree (1)
  5. Strongly Agree (2)

In the above example Likert possible rating is from -2 until +2
