What is a Likert scale?


A Likert scale allows participants to rate their responses along a spectrum, such as from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." It’s commonly used in our Engagement, Experience, and Effectiveness templates.

Color options available


You can choose between two color schemes for your Likert scale:

  1. Temperature Gauge: Yellow signifies low scores, while red represents high scores.

  2. Blue Gradient: A lighter blue indicates a low score, and a darker blue reflects a high score.

Why these colors?


Yellow/red

  • Represents a "temperature" gauge; warmer colors signal more positive responses.

Blue

  • Neutral in tone, blue is associated with interaction across our platform, making it a suitable alternative to the classic yellow/red scheme.

Which one should you use?


The choice is yours! Both options are valid; pick the one that best fits your organization’s style and objectives.

How to change the color of the Likert scale


Go to your survey configuration page and select the Settings tab.

Scroll down to the Survey Colors section.

Use the Color Settings dropdown under the Likert Scale heading to select your preferred color.

Click Save changes to update.

Note: Surveys default to the yellow/red scale. However, if you duplicate a survey with the blue scale enabled, this setting will carry over.
