Marketing - Marketing / Market Research | | German term or phrase: 9-er Skala | Skala: **9-er Skala** mit den Ankerpunkten „stimme überhaupt nicht zu“ - „stimme nicht zu“ - „weiss nicht“ - „stimme zu“ - „stimme voll und ganz zu“
I can't find a definition of this kind of 'scale', but it seems to be used in surveys and market research a lot. |

Although those from 1 to 5 are probably the most common ones, I know researchers/companies who like them from 1 to 10 (!) which makes you wonder whether such differentiation is really useful. Have a nice weekend!

Take a close look at your original: The five statements mentioned are called "Ankerpunkte", i.e. the person writing this down was too lazy to fill in the blanks ("stimme eher zu", "stimme eher nicht zu", etc.). |

Asker: No, I don't think so. Respondents are supposed to evaluate statements with from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". There are only five options.
