What does a Likert Scale measure? Likert-type, or frequency scales, use fixed choice response formats to measure attitudes or opinions. (Bowling 1997, Burns & Grove 1997)

Individuals express how much they agree or disagree with a statement.

How do you use Likert results? Summarize using: Median - the middle number in a sorted list of numbers. Find Median by placing the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number

Mode – the number that appears most often. Find mode, or modal value, by putting numbers in order then counting how many there is of each number.

Mode is probably the most suitable for easy interpretation. Display distribution of observations in a bar chart.
