Likert chart
Agree and disagree, statement by statement.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A Likert chart shows survey answers per statement as one bar split into five answer levels, from strongly disagree to strongly agree, so the balance of opinion reads across many statements. Use it for customer surveys, NPS follow-ups and employee surveys.
Pay once. Every update included.

Something else?
hello@usechartory.comThe disagree share on the left and the agree share on the right of each bar (12% and 74% for easy to set up). Neutral is the part in between.
Five segments per bar; the legend groups them as disagree, neutral and agree.
One data object in the sample’s shape: five shares per statement, from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The React component is free in the public registry in Hearth, no token needed; Signal comes with Code and Complete. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/likert. You review the diff.
