The 1-5 rating scale generally progresses from lower to higher values. A rating of 1 signifies the
least favorable opinion, while 5 indicates the most favorable. Respondents or evaluators choose
a number on the scale that aligns with their assessment, ranging from the least positive (1) to
the most positive (5). For this scale, 1 is the lowest rating we can receive for a question, and 2 is
below average. A rating of 3 is considered average, 4 is above average, and 5 is excellent. The
perfect rating on this scale is 5, which is the highest score respondents can give to our
