CAPI/ACASI: Numeric Scale Type Responses

Scale Responses consist of a linear scale with a fixed number of points displayed vertically or horizontally. Text is displayed at each end of the scale describing the extreme endpoints (anchor points) of the scale. Specifics regarding the display and labeling of intermediate points and display and keyboard entry of numeric values are set on the Data Element Response Set tab.

For any of these variations, responses may be entered by selecting the appropriate position along the scale using either the mouse or touchscreen. You may also enter an appropriate numeric code using the keyboard if keyboard use is allowed.

 

If you also wish to have intermediate points labeled, you can use a Response Card of the Numeric Scale type and only add labels for specific points.
