An Opinion Scale lets people express their feelings on a numbered scale. Easy to understand and quick to use, it’s a great way of collecting opinions.

1. To add an Opinion Scale question, open a form from your Workspace, or start a new one. Click Add content to open the Questions menu.

Start scale at 1

Selecting 1 from the dropdown list will mean your Opinion Scale begins at 1, instead of the default 0.

Steps

This allows you to choose the number of steps your scale has. The default is 11, which gives you a scale of 0-10. The smallest number of steps you can have is 5, giving you a scale of 1-5.

How to add a Not Applicable option

For the moment, we do not offer a Not applicable option, but there are a couple of workarounds you could use:

  • Ask your respondents to simply skip the question if they don’t have an opinion or prefer not to answer. You can use the Description field of the question for this. If you go with this solution, make sure that you do not set the question as required.
  • Use the Multiple Choice or Picture Choice question instead and add the scale as choice labels. Simply add a choice label saying “Not applicable”.
