Likert scale question in Google Forms

"How can I ask a rated question?"- Google Docs Editors Community

A yes or no doesn't tell you how strongly people feel. For that you need a scale, from Very satisfied to Very unsatisfied, asked the same way for every topic. Google Forms has no Likert question, and repeating the same choices in question after question makes a long survey. In Formfacade you build it as a multiple choice grid, with the topics as rows and the scale as columns, or as a multiple choice question for a single topic. Requiring a response in each row makes sure no topic is left blank.

Create your form and follow the steps below.
