Total Score: Σ (Likert Value × Frequency)
Mean: Total Score ÷ Total Respondents
Maximum Score: Total Respondents × Maximum Likert Score (e.g., 5)
Percentage (Index): (Total Score ÷ Maximum Score) × 100
Interpretation Interval: (Max Value - Min Value) ÷ 5 Categories
What is a Likert Scale?
A Likert scale is a psychometric scale commonly involved in research that employs questionnaires. It is the most widely used approach to scaling responses in survey research, such that the term is often used interchangeably with rating scale, although there are other types of rating scales.
How to Calculate Likert Score
To calculate the overall score, assign a numerical value to each response (e.g., Strongly Disagree = 1, Strongly Agree = 5). Multiply the number of responses by the assigned value to get the weighted score for each choice. Sum these up to get the Total Score. The mean is found by dividing the Total Score by the number of respondents.
