The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Design valid and reliable survey instruments with proper question types, Likert scale construction, response coding, and data preparation for analysis.
| Type | Example | Best For | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Likert scale | "Rate your agreement: 1-5" | Attitudes, perceptions | Ordinal/interval statistics |
| Multiple choice | "Select your field" | Demographics, categories | Frequencies, chi-square |
| Ranking | "Rank these 5 options" | Preferences, priorities | Rank correlations |
| Open-ended | "Describe your experience" | Exploratory, rich data | Qualitative coding |
| Matrix/grid | Multiple items, same scale | Efficient battery of items | Factor analysis, reliability |
| Slider/VAS | 0-100 visual analog scale | Continuous measures | Parametric statistics |
| Semantic differential | "Easy __ __ __ __ __ Difficult" | Bipolar attitudes | Factor analysis |
| Points | Scale Example | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| 4-point | Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree | Forces choice (no neutral), less discriminating |
| 5-point | SD, D, Neutral, A, SA | Most common, good balance of simplicity and discrimination |
| 7-point | SD, D, Somewhat D, Neutral, Somewhat A, A, SA | More discriminating, better for experienced respondents |
| 11-point (0-10) | Not at all to Completely | NPS, continuous-like measures |
