    * Composite scores of multiple Likert scaled survey questions may be deemed interval in most situations. Exceptions include a single Likert

    scaled survey question, scale range options less than 5, sample data that are not normally distributed, and certain variable characteristics

    (Carifio & Perla, 2008; Sullivan & Artino, 2013). Measurement level assignment in SPSS is nominal, ordinal, and scale. Because meaningful

    computations may be performed with interval data; SPSS assumes interval level variables as metric, and they are assigned to the scale

    measurement level. See Measurement column in the Variable View tab.
