Feature request

Add Likert/matrix question format

Rational

Having a way for a user to choose a scale answer is helpful when trying to gather data on a scale.

A Likert scale as described by wikipedia is:

a psychometric scale commonly involved in research that employs questionnaires. It is the most widely used approach to scaling responses in survey research.

UI

There's lots of ways of doing this. Here's one option:

There are many options on how to display this. I've not thought too uch yet about it, but can help with designs if it helps.

Priority

High

As a user researcher who creates questionnaires having questions that can gather ranking data is very important - however I can understand this might be complicated/a lot of work to implement. There's also a lot of ways to implement this so I think it requires time to discuss.

Thoughts?

    Yep, we should absolutely have this, Google Forms has both:

    • Multiple choice grid
    • Checkbox grid

    No, rating is still missing. Basically linear scale, but with stars/hearts/whatever instead of radio buttons
