While the highest value, the lowest value is multiplied by the weight of the highest value, which is 18 x 5 = 90.Thus, the lowest value is 18 and the highest value is 90.Because there are five alternative answers (according to the Likert scale), there must also be five assessment categories, for that the next step is to determine the interval distance from the lowest value to the highest value until five assessment categories are obtained.The interval distance can be done with the following calculation: JI = (90 -18) 5 = 14,4 Thus, the assessment categories for each statement item and assessment of the variables studied are as follows:
