[[Personal Science (book)]] recommends simpler scales to stop user from wasting time on details. [[User:DG|DG]] ([[User talk:DG|talk]]) recommends somewhat wider scales that split positive and negative into 'definitely' and 'extremely/unusually' and the neutral state into two to let user guess which side is more likely.

'''Anchored Scales'''. User could connect each level of a scale to specific set of physical characteristics, for example how disruptive it was to user's every day work. This technique stops drift, is less ambiguous, and therefore faster too. In addition this means comparisons can be done between different variables that have the same scale.
