Throwing it out there - I love consulting on projects for survey design, question wording, and other aspects of creating surveys that don't suck. Feel free to contact me if you're someone who needs this type of help and I'm happy to discuss my rates based on your needs and expected time commitment

I donโt know of any work on this topic either, but it came up when I was talking to a collaborator who seems to be convinced of that one of these scales is better than the other.
I'm looking for a good resource on the implications on psychometric properties and response patterns when using Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree vs Never/Rarely/Sometimes/Often/Always Likert scales on surveys. Anyone have anything I should read?

Had a great time presenting my work at @enar-ibs.bsky.social #ENAR2026
Proud to be an @enar-ibs.bsky.social member when #ENAR2026 shows itโs values with these name tag ribbons and pronoun stickers
Whoโs going to #ENAR2026? Looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones!
Still not too late to catch my talk today at 11:15 am NYC time. Itโs on Studying Queer Data While Living It: Positionality, Power, and Practice
If anyone wants to give me some feedback on my slides, DM me. I'm finishing them up now :)
I'm really excited to keynote at this conference. My talk, "Studying Queer Data While Living It: Positionality, Power, and Practice," will be on Thursday Feb 26th at 11:15 am NYC time.
Happy to teach an intro stats or intro research methods class on survey design.
Someone made an actually-organized version of this!!

NKD is probably the most โauthenticโ of them. Trejo has a pretty good one that tastes totally different but good. Kentucky 74 is the classic one for mixing. Donโt expect any of them to be good for sipping directly, but mixed theyโre pretty good!
why did they call it "therapy" and not "deep issue massage"
Do I have any Canadian contacts working in the Queer data space that are interested in submitting a grant with me? Must be at a Canadian university. Topic would be gender affirming care in trans individuals. I have a proposal idea.
Feeling especially sad and frustrated with the state of scientific funding in the US right now. Itโs devastating that good grants with scientific merit are unfundable because their topics disagree with the politics of administration
I know this isnt new but itโs hitting me hard and personally today
This is a cool call for papers. Anyone want to work on something with me to submit to this. I only have a few vague ideas so Iโd be happy to collaborate with someone who has a more structured idea.
It always brightens my day when my students papers get accepted. Love to see the talent of the next generation of statisticians!
Keep at it! We canโt let a mistake define us. You now get to make a new choice to keep working towards your goal.
As we head into the new year, let's all be gentle with ourselves and our bodies. You are the one who determines your own goals. You are the one who knows what food makes you feel good and nourished. You are the one who gets decide what you eat. Trust yourself.
Time to replace the document called Fall To Do with Spring To Do. Contents? The same
Time to motivate myself to grade all day.
8 down, 21 to go
Looking forward to this talk! Come join me for a discussion on queer data!

Zohran Mamdani doesnโt make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isnโt really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.
