strongly disagree

Spanish translation: totalmente en desacuerdo

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:strongly disagree
Spanish translation:totalmente en desacuerdo

English term or phrase: strongly disagree
These are categories in a survey. No context. We have: strongly disagree, moderately disagree, neither agree or disagree, moderately agree, strongly agree.

It's a tough proposition to translate into Spanish and make it sound natural. Any suggestions?

I don't want every category translated, just some suggestions.

For the first I thought: No estoy de acuerdo en absoluto, which is a long sentence for a heading in a table.

totalmente en desacuerdo
Explanation:
You can repeat "totalmente" with the last category:
strongly agree: totalmente de acuerdo

For "moderately" I would suggest "medianamente" (medianamente de acuerdo / medianamente en desacuerdo).
