Storing Likert Scale Results In Variable
I'm looking to store values from results in a Likert Scale quiz page in a variable and wondered if anyone knows a way to do it.
I basically want 2 columns and to add up the number of selections in each column and then display the total number of selections for each column individually and store results in a variable.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

You will get results that are closest to what you want if you attach what you already have to the forum here. Choose ADD ATTACHMENT, then navigate to your .story file.
That way all the answers you receive will be focused on exactly your situation.
OK thanks. Here is a sample of what I'm trying to do - I want to display the total of each column at the bottom.
Thanks for any help
I'm not sure a likert slide will report results in a place you can use them later. Maybe someone that is more familiar with them can weigh in on that.
In the meantime, try this sample.
Hi Tom,
Unfortunately, the Likert quiz doesn't expose any of the radio buttons or variables where you can access them.
What I would do instead, is create the same thing on a regular slide. Take a look at the example that I added for you.
That's really great - thank you.
The built in likert scale has no purpose except to make the participant feel like they are heard when actually nobody cares. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
Hi there, Paris. Have you had any issues reporting Likert scale survey results to your learning management system?
LMS
How does the survey get reported in the LMS?My Uses
I don't plan on using it for the learning management system. I wanted to use it internally to calculate advice for students. Based on their checking how well they can do something, I can calculate if testing out of a subject it appropriate. This would be delivered on a later slide. I don't need to capture this for an LMS. It is delivered back to the student.My Solution
Create my own buttons that individual alter the variable. It's not perfect but it works pretty well.Thanks,

Crystal,
I feel like you may be talking about the exact issue we're having with our Likert Survey.
We want the survey to be completed only after the learner has taken (and possibly re-taken) the quiz and received their score...so after the Quiz Results slide.
My worry is that because of its placement after the Quiz Results slides, the learner's Likert responses are not being recorded by the LMS.
Can you point me to a solution to this issue?
(I'm unable to share my Storyline file due to confidentiality, but I've prepared a screenshot that shows our Likert slide.)
Thanks for any guidance you can offer,
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
Happy to help here! If you would like a survey to be tracked and sent to the LMS after a quiz, I recommend creating a separate scene and adding in the survey and Survey Results slide.
You could then add an additional results slide to track both the quiz and the survey results and "combine" the score.
I've tested the file attached in SCORM Cloud and successfully reported the Likert Survey along with the quiz.
I hope this helps!
Ren,
Thanks so much for this.
I've downloaded the sample file you shared and will check it out.
Best,
Jeff
Ren,
I've looked into the two-scene file you shared. And I appreciate the advise to consider using SCORMCloud to test the files.
The thing is...we don't really want to add any additional interactions for the user. Especially, we don't want to give them the option to review their Likert Survey answers once submitted.
What would be super helpful is if you could tell me which command in your slides is the specific one that instructs the LMS to store the responses to the Likert Survey.
+ Is it the "Submit Likert" command on 2.1 SURVEY QUESTION slide?
+ Or is it "Submit results" command on 2.3 Results Slide?
If it's the latter that causes an LMS to store the values, can I just add that "Submit results" command onto the same slide with my "Submit Likert" command that already exists?
Thanks so much for your help on this!
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the follow-up! Both triggers are needed to report the Likert Survey:
- Submit Likert will submit the question to the Survey Results slide.
- Submit Results 2.3 will submit the combined results to the LMS.
Everything else can be edited, including removing the option to review the survey. So you'd essentially have to paint these slides as Thank You or End of Course decoy slides just so you can submit those triggers.
If you'd like to reduce additional slides, on slide 2.2, you can even choose to skip the slide by jumping to the next slide when the timeline starts.
I hope these tips help!
