I disagree with "For scale-based questions, include a neutral midpoint." This is a highly controversial topic and I'm sitting on not adding a neutral midpoint when using Likert scales. I don't see value in "neutrality". I want to prompt respondents to indicate whether their POV is positive or negative.

Valid point. Sometimes I do find myself on the side of not caring/having an opinion. In such circumstances, what’s your recommendation?

I prefer to add an extra option that indicates it's irrelevant for the user, for example, 'N/A'. E.g.

How satisfied are you with the chat functionality?

- Very satisfied

- Satisfied

- Dissatisfied

- Very dissatisfied

- N/A (or Don't use the functionality)
