The scale answer format displays a scale to the participant for them to select a value in a range. For instance, it is useful to assess things like pain scores, instead of having to present a text choice to the participant. You can also use this answer format to create a Likert Scale, selecting the minimum and maximum values, as well as the number of steps between the minimum and maximum values, as pictured below.
The discrete scale only allows the participant to choose a value that is divisible by the step value.
If you need a scale without discrete steps, try the Continuous Scale answer format.
