Rating Scale Question
If you want to survey respondents to give you measurable, quantitative ratings, you can use a Ratings question type.
Begin by typing your question into the Question Text box. It can be helpful to survey-takers to specify how the rating scale is weighted.
Then select the number of ratings, or the size of your ratings scale (for example on a scale from 1 to 5). |
![]() |
Type in your ratings scale as the Column choices, and assign each a weight. For example, Very Unimportant, Unimportant, Neutral, Important and Very Important. On this scale, Very Important is weighted as a 5 and Very Unimportant is a 1. You can check the box to make this question required for survey-takers.
Note: If you would like to provide an option for n/a, simply assign that option a weight of 0, and it will not affect the average score of your question results.
Then type in your Row Choices as the items you want respondents to rate.
Click Save & Close to insert your question.
You'll see your new survey question appear on the Survey Design page.
