As it's commonly used, with each point representing a number, it's not a continuous variable.
For example, if someone hits a radio button for disagree=2, then it's a discrete variable.
If, however, interval choices between points are allowed by the setting, then the scale is measured and the numbers are assigned as fractions or decimals such as 1.88, it becomes a continuous variable, although still ordinal in nature as one can not infer a set ratio between each response.

What level of measurement is likert scale?
It depends on the specific likert scale, but generally it is the ordinal level
Can you use spss to analyze Data collected on 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.
Is blood pressure a discrete variable?
No. Because blood pressure is continuous variable. Like temperature, a person's weight and height, the measured value occurs over a continuous scale.
Is mass a continuous or discrete variable?
It is a continuous variable.
How do you convert 7 point likert scale into 5 point likert scale?
To convert a 7-point Likert scale to a 5-point scale, you can combine adjacent response options. For instance, you can merge the first two options of the 7-point scale into the lowest option of the 5-point scale, the middle option can remain the same, and the last two options of the 7-point scale can be combined into the highest option of the 5-point scale. This way, responses are grouped to fit the 5-point scale while maintaining the overall sentiment. It's important to ensure that the new scale preserves the original intent and variability of responses.

What is the Best way to answer the Likert Scale?
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.
Is blood pressure a discrete variable?
No. Because blood pressure is continuous variable. Like temperature, a person's weight and height, the measured value occurs over a continuous scale.
Is a Likert scale quantitative or qualitative?
A Likert scale is considered a quantitative measurement tool because it assigns numerical values to responses and allows for numerical analysis of data.
Is GPA interval data?
Yes, it is a Continuous variable measured along an equidistant 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".

The Likert Scale
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.
