0100schaal

0100schaal is a numeric rating scale that expresses a value on a continuum from 0 to 100. It is used in fields such as psychology, marketing, healthcare, and environmental assessment to quantify quality, intensity, frequency, or proportion. In analysis, it is usually treated as a ratio scale with meaningful zero and equally spaced intervals.

Name and format. The term reflects its bounds, with values commonly reported as percent scores, though decimals are often used for greater precision (for example, 72.4). Endpoints must be defined for each context: 0 might indicate no presence or worst condition, and 100 indicates maximum presence, best condition, or full intensity.

Applications. It is widely used for customer satisfaction ratings, symptom severity scales, product quality indices, performance appraisals, and public-health indicators. It also serves as a common metric in data dashboards and statistical analyses where comparability across measures is important.

Advantages and limitations. Advantages include intuitive interpretation and straightforward cross-comparison. Limitations include subjective anchoring, potential ceiling or floor effects, and the assumption of equal intervals which may not reflect perceptual differences. Consistent definitions, anchors, and administration help improve reliability and validity.

Relation to other scales. The 0100schaal is one of several rating scales; alternatives include 0–5 scales, 1–10 scales, and visual analog scales. Its suitability depends on the context, the required precision, and the intended analysis.
