Answer 1

Answer: Likert

Explanation:

The Likert scale (1932), was named after its creator, psychologist Rensis Likert, and became the most broadly applied method to scaling responses in survey investigation. It usually has five to seven points that allow subjects to state their level of agreement with a specific statement. This scale implies that attitude´s intensity is linear, and it can be measured. Furthermore, it also is used to measure other phenomenons such as importance, or likelihood.
