five-point scale

Common survey measure

A five-point scale is a rating system offering five options, typically ranging from one extreme to another with a neutral middle: strongly disagree to strongly agree, or one star to five stars.

Common in surveys, reviews, and assessments: Rate your satisfaction on a five-point scale.

The format balances simplicity with enough gradation to capture meaningful differences.
