Variation in Likert scale of the mathematics usefulness test by Facundo Juan Pablo Abal, Sofía Esmeralda Auné, Horacio Félix Attorresi

“…Likert scales with more categories increased test reliability at the extreme levels of the trait, but at the expense of compromising the internal structure validity evidences (Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Partial Credit Model of the Item Response Theory). The relative efficiency function revealed that similar information is obtained for all levels of the trait when using 5 or 6-point scales. …”
