The Likert scale:

Question

The Likert scale:

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the Likert scale and provides three interpretations. 
Option A: 'gave learners a chance to rate themselves from 0 to 5.' While many Likert-style items use a 5-point scale, the common practical labeling is 1 to 5 (or sometimes 0 to 4). Saying '0 to 5' is not the standard labeling for a typical Likert item, so this representation is inaccurate or at least not universally correct. 
Option B: 'measured learners scores out of 100.' A Likert scale does not produce a raw score out of 100 by itself; it aggregates responses across items, with each item contributing a small, ordinal value rather than a single percentage score out of 100. So this statement mischaracterizes how Likert data are scored and interpreted. 
Option C: 'has a maximum score of 500.' This can be true if the survey contains 100 items and each item is scored up to 5 (the standard 5-point Likert per item). In that case, the total maximum possible score across all items would be 100 × 5 = 500. This expresses a plausible scoring framework for a Likert-based questionnaire with a fixed number of items. 
Putting it together, Option A is contested due to nonstandard labeling, Option B misstates the scoring nature of Likert data, and Option C reflects a correct way the maximum total score could be calculated given a typical 5-point per item design with 100 items. 
If the assessment uses 100 statements scored 1–5, the overall maximum would indeed be 500; conversely, if there were a different number of items, the maximum would differ. The phrasing in Option C aligns with the common calculation method for a Likert-scale instrument that has 100 items rated on a 5-point scale, making it the most accurate of the three statements in this context.
