That's the way/order I interpret the choices.

I also agree with 2muchfun. 3 choices should be enough.

"...while "maybe" is under some circumstances, it might happen."

Yeah. In our experience, "under some circumstances" usually means "under the influence of alcohol" but to some people it could mean "We're so horny we can't stand it and they're the only thing available".

<p>That's why I asked the question. If it didn't mean different things to different people then my answer would be the only answer and I wouldn't have to ask the question.</p>

Any Likert scale is going to mean different things to different people.

"Definitely" is an emphatic yes, "a little" is mild interest, while "maybe" is under some circumstances, it might happen.

I'm happy with yes, no, and maybe, but having more ambiguous choices is a good conversational gambit.

Definitely > Yes. Definitely is kind of like a "Hell Yes".

A Little > Maybe. "A Little" is a weak "Yes". "Maybe" is an undecided.

San Luis Obispo, CA, Us

Yes, Maybe and No are all you really need.

<p>Interest levels for profile types are: Definitely, Yes, A Little, Maybe and No.</p>

<p>I'm interested in feedback as to what you consider the difference between "Definitely" and "Yes" and the difference between "A Little" and "Maybe"?</p>
