Rating Scale

The Rating Scale question type is similar to the Multiple Choice type, but it’s presented as a horizontal set of options for your visitors to choose from.

You can select this question type from your left sidebar when creating or editing a Survey

You can customize the rating labels to your liking and are not restricted to numbers. Regardless of the labels, the Rating Scale will retain a hidden numeric value for the ratings which go from 1 to 5 or 10 (depending on the selected preset). This makes for measurable results and allows for further analysis shall you decide to export a report.

Presets

The Rating Scale has two presets of 5 and 10 rating scales:

When you choose one of the presets, the labels get reset with a sequence from 1 to the preset amount you selected. You can customize the labels after selecting the preset.
