This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Who the fuck uses 7 point scales to rate something

A 7 point, or Likert scale, is extremely common in a lot of fields, particularly psychology and social sciences.

What makes it really fun if your psych asks for multiple answers, some in a 7 point scale and some at a 10 point scale. And then forgets to say it every time. So you have to ask. :l

The Kinsey Scale, for example.
