FormR Likert-Scale Survey Generator – For rapid preparation of norming surveys using formr.org

A tiny script to rapidly create formR-compatible Excel files for the purpose of large-scale norming studies utilizing a simple Likert scale.

Before	After

To install the prerequisites run pip3 install --user XlsxWriter.

To generate a file:

1. Input your words or statements into a text file, separated with new lines. By default, it should be called words.txt and located in the same folder as the scripts.
2. Adjust the config file to change the labels, pagination, output filename and path, etc.
3. Run formRGen.sh.

Take a look at the config file for more information on what can be tinkered with.

The Excel file can be uploaded to formR.org straight away or appended with more questions – like the demographic section – manually.
