  Hi Glenn,

  I discovered your blog because I was getting to many hits on my web site from my article that you posted about measuring results and establishing value. My articles get picked up frequently, but I’ve never had such traffic generated by one source! You must have a huge audience.

  Aussi, je vois que vous vivez en Suisse. Moi aussi, je parle francais parce que je vivais on france pendant quelques annees.

  Merci,

  Jenny Schade

  Re: Your 2007 comments on Likert scale questions. I’m looking for some information on the pros and cons of “high to low” vs. “low to high” presentation.

  Meaning: On a 7-point scale, what is the impact of putting “1″ on the left vs. “1″ on the right?

  Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

  Thanks,
  SCOTT

    Hello Scott,
    That’s a good question. I believe it’s better to go from the negative to the positive, left to right. It seems more logic to me and some automated survey software mark your answers and calculate the responses for graphs on this basis, e.g. that the first point is the lowest. But I’ve had clients argue that it should be the opposite way around – put positive to negative, left to right – as people will click on the first point by default – which I personally don’t believe. I’ve never found any academic reference supporting either way but looking at all examples in academic articles, 95% are written as negative to positive, left to right.

  Hi I’m doing some research on research about the use of ’sliders’ or “Visual Analogue Scales” – do you know of any academic work that has been done in thid area?
  Thanks,
  Dan
