Concerning Likert scales:  I make a point of telling students that Likert
actually scaled the category labels he used.  If the general format is used
(1-5) but no scaling has been done to determine the anchors, I would prefer
that students refer to this as a "Likert-type" scale.  Likert scaled the
anchors so as to approximate equal intervals.
