Answer: Likert scale

Explanation:

The Likert scale is a scale which uses five or seven point to give someone an opportunity to express their agreement or disagreement with a given situation or statement. It works on a presumption that the depth of a person's opinion or attitude is linear and that can be measure by assigning a number.

Likert scale can also be used to measure other factors such as quality, importance , likelihood , frequency etc.
