A Likert scale is a way to ask people questions and get their opinion on something. It's like a little ruler that helps you measure how much someone likes or dislikes something.
We use the Likert scale by asking people to rate something on a scale from one to five, or sometimes one to seven. One means they really don't like it and five or seven means they really like it.
For example, let's say we want to ask people how much they like ice cream. We could ask them to rate it on a Likert scale from one to five. One means they don't like it at all, and five means they love it.
If someone chooses a five, that means they really like ice cream a lot! But if they choose a one, that means they really don't like ice cream at all.
The Likert scale helps us understand how people feel about things, and it makes it easy to compare their answers.
