  In this article we investigate how to score a dichotomous scored question
when co-mingled with a typically scored set of Likert scale questions. The goal
is to find the upper value of the dichotomous response such that no single
question is overly weighted when analyzing the summed values of the entire set
of questions. Results demonstrate that setting the upper value of the
dichotomous value to the max value of the Likert scale question scale is
inappropriate. We provide a more appropriate value to use when considering
Likert scale questions up to the max value of 10.
