Discussion
Which of the following scales are designed to provide a quantitative measure of the individual's relative position along an unidimensional continuum?
Answer: B
Attitude scales are designed to give a quantitative measure of an individual's relative position along a single (unidimensional) continuum, from very unfavourable to very favourable towards an object. Examples are Thurstone's and Likert's scales. Aptitude, interest and personality scales deal with several dimensions or kinds of scores rather than one continuum.
Thurstone and Likert scales place a person along a single line from favourable to unfavourable, which is the unidimensional continuum of the stem.
