Add as many or as few labels as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"446\" height=\"132\" src=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12192913\/image-6.png\" alt=\"Star rating question with rating labels\" class=\"wp-image-998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12192913\/image-6.png 446w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12192913\/image-6-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12192913\/image-6-150x44.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;N\/A&#8217; Option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to customize your Star Rating question is by adding an &#8220;<strong>N\/A<\/strong>&#8220;<strong> option<\/strong>.  This stands for the phrase &#8220;not applicable&#8221;, &#8220;not available&#8221; or &#8220;no answer&#8221;.  It is used in a situation when the question does not apply to the respondent.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s say that you own a hotel and you ask each visitor to fill out a survey including the required question &#8220;How did you like our food?&#8221;  If someone only spent the night in the hotel but never ate any food in the restaurant then they would answer this question with the &#8220;N\/A&#8221; choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"428\" height=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12202426\/image-7.png\" alt=\"Star rating question with an optional N\/A choice\" class=\"wp-image-1002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12202426\/image-7.png 428w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12202426\/image-7-300x91.png 300w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12202426\/image-7-150x46.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rating Weights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally you would rank each response with a simple scale: 1 star = 1 point, 2 stars = 2 points, etc.  However, there might be circumstances when you want to weight things differently.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe 1 star = 0 points, 2 stars = 5 points, 3 stars = 10 points, for instance.  You can also use negative numbers.  For example you could do something like this: 1 star = -2, 2 stars = -1, 3 stars = 0, 4 stars = 1 and 5 stars = 2.  These rating weights are used in the reporting section to give a weighted average score to each response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comment Option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are times when a one-click response does not provide you with enough information.  If you want to give the survey respondent the option to provide additional context to their answer, add an &#8216;other&#8217; (or comment) box to your question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"201\" src=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14155759\/image-10.png\" alt=\"Star rating question with an 'other' text box\" class=\"wp-image-1009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14155759\/image-10.png 640w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14155759\/image-10-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14155759\/image-10-150x47.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps To Create Your Own Star Rating Question<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll now walk you through the steps of creating your own Star Rating Question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, click the Add Question + button and then double-click on Star Rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"203\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14145054\/image-8.png\" alt=\"Choose the Star Rating question\" class=\"wp-image-1006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14145054\/image-8.png 203w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14145054\/image-8-150x140.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to enter the <strong>question text<\/strong>.  For example, &#8220;How would you rate the friendliness of our staff&#8221;?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then choose the <strong>icon<\/strong>.  In this case, we chose the &#8220;hearts&#8221; option.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to give the respondents the choice <strong>between 1 and 10<\/strong> hearts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we select the <strong>color <\/strong>that best fits our question and icon (red).  Just to the right of the color selector you can see a preview of the icon with the chosen options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the scale size (number of icons), we could also make the <strong>width <\/strong>of the choices narrower than the default 100% of the page width.  When making this decision, please be aware that this affects both the desktop survey view as well as that of mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"787\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14150040\/image-9.png\" alt=\"Add a Star Rating question\" class=\"wp-image-1007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14150040\/image-9.png 787w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14150040\/image-9-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14150040\/image-9-150x123.png 150w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14150040\/image-9-768x629.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For descriptions on the other question option, please see the brief introductions above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Star Rating Reporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When respondents start taking your survey, you will want to see what they have submitted.

So far our question has only received 4 responses: 1 1-star rating, 1 4-star rating and 2 not-applicable choices.  The weighted average is calculated by adding up the number of responses for each rating multiplied by the weight of the respective rating.  &#8216;N\/A&#8217; selections are ignored.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14165925\/image-11.png\" alt=\"Star Rating reporting summary - weighted average\" class=\"wp-image-1011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14165925\/image-11.png 685w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14165925\/image-11-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/surveyrock-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/14165925\/image-11-150x77.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the example above this comes out to: (1 * 1 + 1 * 4) \/ (1 + 1) = 2.5.
