The 6 Likert scale questions in this template.

In the order respondents meet them, one type of scale per question. Replace [Company] with your name and change any statement.

Agreement

  1. How much do you agree with each statement?

    Matrix Required

    • [Company] keeps its promises
    • It is easy to get help when I need it
    • The staff understand what I need
    • I get good value for what I pay
    • I trust [Company] with my data
    • I would choose [Company] again

    Scale: Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree, Agree, Strongly agree

    Why ask it. The classic Likert scale: six statements on one screen, each answered from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. Every statement holds one idea, so a low score points to one thing to fix.

Satisfaction

  1. Overall, how satisfied are you with [Company]?

    Single choice Required

    • Very dissatisfied
    • Dissatisfied
    • Neutral
    • Satisfied
    • Very satisfied

    Why ask it. A satisfaction scale with a word on every point and a neutral middle. Satisfied and Very satisfied together are your top-2 box.

Importance

  1. How important is each of these when you choose a company like [Company]?

    Matrix Required

    • Price
    • Quality
    • Speed
    • Support

    Scale: Not at all important, Slightly important, Moderately important, Very important, Extremely important

    Why ask it. An importance scale for what people weigh when they choose. Set it beside the statements: what matters a lot and scores low is where to start.

Frequency

  1. How often do you use [Company]'s products or services?

    Single choice Required

    • Never
    • Rarely
    • Sometimes
    • Often
    • Always

    Why ask it. A frequency scale, about what people do rather than what they think. It separates the answers of regular customers from occasional ones.

Likelihood

  1. How likely are you to keep using [Company] next year?

    Single choice Required

    • Very unlikely
    • Unlikely
    • Not sure
    • Likely
    • Very likely

    Why ask it. A likelihood scale about staying. It asks about next year, not about recommending you, so it does not replace an NPS question.

In their own words

  1. What is the main reason for your answers?

    Open answer

    Why ask it. Optional. The words behind the numbers: read them next to the statements people disagreed with.

How to read Likert scale results.

The mean score

Code the points from 1 to 5, Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. Enter how many people chose each point into the Likert scale calculator and it returns the mean, the top-2 box and the share of negative answers. Compare statement with statement.

The top-2 box and the spread

A mean can hide a split: two statements can share a mean while one has people at both ends. Look at the chart for each scale, then report the share of the two highest points with the top box calculator.

One score from six statements

Before you add the six agreement scores into one index, check that they measure one thing. Export the answers to Excel, CSV or SPSS on any plan and paste them into the Cronbach’s alpha calculator, one row per respondent.

Which Likert scale fits which question.

  1. Agreement for opinions

    Write short statements with one idea each. “Fast and friendly” is two statements: if someone disagrees, you will not know with which half.

  2. Satisfaction for an experience

    Ask it about something people have actually used: the company as a whole, an order, a visit to support.

  3. Importance next to performance

    Ask how much each thing matters and how well you do it, with the same items in both. The gap between the two answers sets your priorities.

  4. Frequency for habits, likelihood for plans

    Never to Always describes what people already do. Very unlikely to Very likely describes what they intend to do next.

Questions about this template

What is a Likert scale survey?

A survey where people answer on an ordered scale of worded points, most often five, from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. Strictly, a Likert scale is a set of agreement statements whose scores are added up; satisfaction, importance, frequency and likelihood questions built the same way are called Likert-type items. This template has one of each.

What is an example of a Likert scale question?

“[Company] keeps its promises”, answered from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. The template has six statements like it, plus a satisfaction scale (Very dissatisfied to Very satisfied), an importance scale (Not at all important to Extremely important), a frequency scale (Never to Always) and a likelihood scale (Very unlikely to Very likely).

Should a Likert scale have a neutral option?

This template keeps the middle point (Neither agree nor disagree, Neutral, Not sure), so people without an opinion do not have to pick a side. If you need everyone to lean one way, delete it and keep four points. Decide before the first survey, so later results compare.

How do I analyze Likert scale data?

Code the points from 1 to 5. For each statement, enter how many people chose each point into the free Likert scale calculator: it returns the mean, the top-2 box and the share of negative answers. Look at the spread as well as the mean, and check Cronbach’s alpha before you combine several statements into one score.

How is it different from the rating scale survey?

The rating scale survey template scores one visit or purchase with 1–10, 0–10 and star ratings. This template asks for opinions about a company on five-point scales with a word on every point. Use the rating scale survey for quick scores after a visit.

Is the survey anonymous?

It asks for no name or e-mail. To make the answers anonymous, turn on anonymous mode in the survey settings. It works on every plan.
