The scale represents a spectrum: 1 signifies that you are not at all satisfied with a service, and 5 means you are very satisfied. If you are not familiar enough with a particular service to make an evaluation, please circle 7 for cannot evaluate this service. If you have no knowledge of the service in question, please circle 8 for never heard of service rather than not answering the question.
