Likert scales are good because they
Hope this helps :)
Can a 3-point scale also be called a Likert scale?? PS
The Likert type question is used to determine the respondent attitude or feeling on a particular specific item. There are numerous ways to set up the answer types on the Likert scale; see the related links.
The advantages of using a 7-point Likert scale include its ability to capture nuanced opinions and provide a greater range of response options, which can enhance the reliability and validity of survey results. It allows respondents to express varying degrees of agreement or disagreement, facilitating more detailed analysis. However, disadvantages include the potential for confusion among respondents who may struggle to differentiate between closely related options, as well as the risk of central tendency bias, where participants may avoid extreme responses. Additionally, interpreting results can become complex when dealing with a larger scale.
The Likert Scale
The correct formula is: 1.5 x (N-1) +1 where N is the score on a 7 point scale.

A Likert scale is considered a quantitative measurement tool because it assigns numerical values to responses and allows for numerical analysis of data.
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".

The advantage of using a nominal scale is that it can help with classification. The disadvantage of using a nominal scale is that it is the most primitive system.
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
The correct formula is: 1.5 x (N-1) +1 where N is the score on a 7 point scale.
