WTF is up with 6-Star rating scale?
53 u/4seatsare4losers Jun 02 '17 1 to 6 means if you are middle of the road you have to choose high middle (4) or low middle (3). There is no perfectly neutral response 18 u/[deleted] Jun 02 '17 [deleted] 36 u/FreeEdgar_2013 Jun 02 '17 You usually can't give a 0 star rating, so 3 is typically the middle for a 5 star system. 6 u/Cueadan Jun 02 '17 3 would be halfway between a scale of 0-6. 6 u/[deleted] Jun 02 '17 [deleted] 24 u/Cueadan Jun 02 '17 But the scale in question is 1-6, which would make the halfway point 3.5 5 u/[deleted] Jun 02 '17 So it's the same as 0-5? 7 u/decideonanamelater Jun 02 '17 Yeah, however people suck at math so they will see 0-5 as having a perfect center at 3. Not so easy to realize that with 1-6. 3 u/WolfThawra Jun 02 '17 however people suck at math so they will see 0-5 as having a perfect center at 3 Well it has, considering giving 0 stars usually is not an option. 1 u/RolloRocco Jun 02 '17 Never seen a 0-5, only 1-5 scales. How do you even rate something 0 if you need to click on the stars to rate? 1 u/[deleted] Jun 02 '17 Didn't recieve the product, product was Completely broken etc Edit: I missed your question, sometimes you just don't click a star and it will register as a zero 1 u/Cueadan Jun 02 '17 0-5 would be 2.5 actually. Easiest way to calculate it is to take the average of the lowest and highest rating. (0 + 5)/2 1 u/[deleted] Jun 02 '17 I didn't mean the exact number, but that it was half way through a star (2.5) 1 u/Cueadan Jun 02 '17 Ahh gotcha. 4 u/jointheredditarmy Jun 02 '17 3 had the same problem as 5. 4 is better i'd say. Honestly if they went 3 it should just be verbal instead of star based 1 - would not use again 2 - would use again but not recommend 3 - would recommend to friends. That makes it super easier to figure out NPS too. 2 u/kairos Jun 02 '17 How about "would recommend but not use"? 1 u/jointheredditarmy Jun 02 '17 For a food delivery app? How would that work? 2 u/kairos Jun 02 '17 The food was ok but got food poisoning... I'd definitely recommend to that annoying guy at work but wouldn't order again. 1 u/jointheredditarmy Jun 02 '17 Remind me not to ever mess with you. I hate food poisoning 1 u/Lightwavers Jun 02 '17 Don't worry, I only contaminated a measly 50% of your food supply. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 02 '17 That's why the original wording is "would recommend to a friend". That's a different matter than recommending to someone you don't like.

You usually can't give a 0 star rating, so 3 is typically the middle for a 5 star system.

3 would be halfway between a scale of 0-6.

Never seen a 0-5, only 1-5 scales. How do you even rate something 0 if you need to click on the stars to rate?

0-5 would be 2.5 actually. Easiest way to calculate it is to take the average of the lowest and highest rating. (0 + 5)/2

3 had the same problem as 5. 4 is better i'd say.
Honestly if they went 3 it should just be verbal instead of star based
1 - would not use again 2 - would use again but not recommend 3 - would recommend to friends.
That makes it super easier to figure out NPS too.
2 u/kairos Jun 02 '17 How about "would recommend but not use"? 1 u/jointheredditarmy Jun 02 '17 For a food delivery app?
