Resumo: In scientific research, we always seek to excellence in methodology, since the definition of the best method is as important as the choice of the scale to be used. This study aims to identify the types of scales used in research and its applications. The four most common types of scale are: nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio. Among the attitude scales used in scientific research, we highlight the Thurstone and the Likert. The Thurstone scale is used to measure a probable human attitude without indicating the intensity. The Likert scale consists of five items ranging from complete disagreement to total agreement on certain statement. It differs from Thurstone’s due to the degree of intensity that is covered by its answers and it has been more used.

Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os tipos de escalas utilizadas em pesquisas e suas aplicações. Os quatro tipos de escala mais comuns são: nominal, ordinal, intervalar e proporcional. Entre as escalas de atitude utilizadas em pesquisas científicas, destacam-se a de Thurstone e a de Likert. A escala de Thurstone é utilizada para medir uma provável atitude humana sem indicar a intensidade. A escala Likert é constituída por cinco itens que variam da total discordância até a total concordância sobre determinada afirmação. Ela se difere da Thurstone devido ao grau de intensidade que abrange suas respostas e vem sendo mais usada.Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Fluminense2016-10-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://editoraessentia.iff.edu.br/index.php/vertices/article/view/1809-2667.v18n216-0110.19180/1809-2667.v18n216-01Revista Vértices; Vol. 18 No. 2 (2016): May/Aug.; 7-20Revista Vértices; Vol. 18 Núm. 2 (2016): mayo/ago.; 7-20Revista Vértices; v. 18 n. 2 (2016): maio/ago.; 7-201809-26671415-2843reponame:Vértices (Campos dos Goitacazes.
