What type of scale does the AIS use?

The AIS (Artificial Intelligence Systems) commonly employs a 6-point ordinal scale to evaluate various aspects of system performance, user satisfaction, or other relevant measurements. An ordinal scale ranks items in a specific order, allowing for an understanding of relative differences among the ranked options. In the case of a 6-point scale, it provides a range of choices that can capture subtleties in assessments, which enhances data granularity in research studies and practical applications.

Such scales are particularly useful for gathering subjective feedback from users because they allow respondents to express varying degrees of opinion without forcing them into binary choices, which can oversimplify complex sentiments. The ordinal nature of the 6-point scale ensures that while the rankings convey an order, they do not quantify the absolute differences between the ranks.

In contrast, the other options present different forms of scaling that may not align as effectively with the nuances typically captured in user assessments or system evaluations. The 10-point numerical scale often leads to over-complication in findings without adding proportional value, the 5-point verbal scale may limit the expression of sentiment too greatly, and the 3-point categorical scale restricts responses further, potentially skewing insights into user experiences. Thus, the choice of a 6-point ordinal scale strikes
