7 Reasons Why Likert Scale Is The Next Best thing Since Sliced Bread

Likert Scale Survey is to feedback collection what invention of wheels is to civilization: gamechanger! 7 reasons how Likert scale survey is the best!

Likert scale is one of the most widely used methods of scaling that is used for surveys. It is usually a 5 or a 7-point scale which is used to measure attitudes and opinions by asking your customers a bunch of questions on a particular topic or by using semantics. They use a fixed choice response statement and it is designed to measure attitudes and opinions.

La escala de Likert (también denominada método de evaluaciones sumarias) se denomina así por Rensis Likert, quien publicó en 1932 un informe donde describía su uso. Es una escala psicométrica comúnmente utilizada en cuestionarios y es la escala de uso más amplio en encuestas para la investigación, principalmente en ciencias sociales. Al responder a una pregunta de un cuestionario elaborado con la técnica de Likert, se especifica el nivel de acuerdo o desacuerdo con una declaración (elemento, ítem o reactivo o pregunta).

Regimentation Strategies and a Rudimentary Scale

Here’s my first rough Scale for Regimentation:

1) When I do a scheduled task I do not think of other tasks 2) When I end a scheduled task I do not continue to think of it afterwards 3) I am able to leave off thinking of work when work is done 4) I don't work when it's not time to work 5) There is a strong line between work and non-work for me 6) Work stress doesn't tend to worry me out during non work times 7) I quickly get into a relaxed state once I finish work

Each question is a 7 point Likert Scale as is the Grit Scale and the SRHI. Do not agree at all = 1, Strongly agree = 7. I just took this and I scored a 17 our of a possible 49 points. Which sounds about right. Some possible additions? -I tend to put off tasks (procrastination seems to be a factor in regimentation) -I tend to ramp up and ramp down depending if it’s work or relaxation (might be too simple to question #7

Some Strategies:

“Sticky” or Absorptive Hobbies  Not looking at things like Facebook/work email Spend time outside Try to steer clear of staring at a computer screen. Having weekends Charting out a schedule for free time - I have a  tendency to let everything drop which inevitably leaves me feeling like I didn’t DO anything during my free time. Some amount of lazing is great, but total lazing makes me feel like I didn’t quite relax enough, as odd as that sounds. Having an intention to not think of work stuff and to relax

A Few MORE Thoughts on Regimentation

If we were to define Regimentation it seems as though it consists of a few aspects:

1) Focusing on the task at hand to the exclusion of other tasks 2) Not clinging to tasks after their appointed time 3) Rest and Relaxation (which ties into number 2)

To accomplish this I need to, for 1) have a list of tasks that are completely broken up to their most basic composite actions. That helps me start and forget with ease because I don't have a hesitation when I start a task - it has already been decided beforehand. The progression and movement forward has already been decided upon. I often worry about what comes next, and that frequently happens in my free time.

But the tasks need to be broken up correctly.

For example one task I have is formatting a blog post correctly to my new website. That's not an accurate assessment and the structure of that to-do list results in immense frustration and (not to mention willpower leaking all over the place) It's built into the structure because I’ve planned it improperly.

A better to-do list involves what I really had to do. I had to find a movie clip for the overview of the post. I had to figure out how to stabilize the video, how to select and move clips, how to do a good transition. I'll then have to figure out why the original video didn't work in the post preview. Proper planning and breaking up tasks results in a mental feeling of winning. Something I don’t have now even if I’ve worked for hours on something.

That’s the beginning of a task and its execution - for the ending I need to, as I said in a previous post, have a set time - I can’t just keep working and working - that causes a blurring between “work time” and “off time” - and that usually results in me banging my head on the table feeling I’ve failed at life. This also results cheat meals and exhaustion throughout the week, destroying other habits.

The next part of regimentation involves forgetting. How do you forget? Dynamic meditation can be used to stay in the present moment after my habit sequence is completed. My tendancy is to replay and worry and go on tangents about work in my head throughout the rest of the day. This is difficult but might be an unusual case where my habits can actually back each other up, especially if I increase the number of times I do the dynamic meditation habit.

A second strategy is to find some hobbies, which I have severe problems coming up with on the spot because I almost always want to fully master them and put them through the habit formation process. The hobbies have to be casual - HERE's a site for finding a hobby, and it's something I'm going to have to think more about.

Another aspect of regimentation is to delve into viewing it as a capacity, like Endurance, Willpower, or Grit.

I'm sure a simple Likert scale could be constructed with questions regarding the ability to stop thinking about tasks outside their appointed times, absorption of other tasks during their structured time, the strictness of work time versus free time, having hobbies, absorption and relaxation index of hobbies, etc.

Why is this important? Because it solidifies it as a skill that can be learned, like habituation or grit - and it formalizes it as such.

Visualizing Likert survey responses

I have been exploring Jason Breyer's likert package in R this week. Over all, I like it. Once you get the your survey data in shape, this seems like a handy tool that produces good quality graphics.

The downsides I see so far:

by default, data labels float near the margins and away from the bar segments, making it a little harder to interpret.

the default setting doesn't handle different response types 

None of those problems are showstoppers though, especially if your workflow involves a final pass through Illustrator.
