How to Use Scale Slides in EngageSlide – Audience Rating & Feedback

Expert Guide: Using Scale Slides

What is a Scale Slide?

A Scale slide allows you to collect detailed sentiment or agreement data from your audience. Participants rate one or more statements on a sliding scale (e.g., from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree"), providing you with a clear statistical breakdown of the room's opinion.

Why use it?

  • Nuanced Feedback: Move beyond binary Yes/No answers to understand the *intensity* of opinions.
  • Comparative Analysis: Ask multiple statements to see how opinions vary across different topics.
  • Professional Benchmarking: Ideal for employee surveys, product feedback, or self-assessments.

Quick Setup Guide

1

Select "+ New Slide" and choose "Scale" from the Interactive Questions.

2

Add your statements in the Content tab. You can add as many as you need to be rated.

Configure your scale range (e.g., 1-5 or 1-10) and labels in the Right Column Settings.

Advanced Settings (Right Column)

📉 Scale Range & Labels

Customize the Low and High ends of your scale. You can name them anything (e.g., "Terrible" to "Excellent" or "Not at all" to "Completely").

⏱️ Time Limit

Set a timer to keep the pace of your presentation. Once the time is up, the averages are finalized.

👁️ Hide Result

Hide the live bars while the audience is voting to prevent them from being influenced by the current average.

🛑 Stop Submission

Manually lock the answers at any point to transition into your analysis of the results.

Pro Tips for Meaningful Data

  • Balance your statements: Include both positive and negative statements to see if the sentiment remains consistent.
  • Clear Benchmarks: Use the labels to define exactly what a "1" or a "5" means to avoid ambiguity.
  • Watch the Spread: During presentation, look not just at the average, but also at the distribution of pins (if visible) to see if the room is divided.
  • Post-Poll Discussion: Use the results as a springboard to ask "Why did we score so low on statement X?" using an Open Ended slide next.
