Hi,

I posted in this forum last month because the script we used for years suddenly does not work the same in Inquisit 6 anymore. The last problem was that the selected option of the likert scale is not highlighted anymore: https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic36040.aspx
We could not find a solution for this however we now discovered a way bigger problem. Our participants can skip all Likert Scale Items by pressing the Enter button, they are not forced to answer them like before. This is our current script:

<likert rate_attractivenesspicstay>
/ anchors = [1= "attractive";2="";3="";4="";5="not attractive"]
/ stimulustimes = [0=attractiveness]
/ mouse=false
/ numpoints=5
/ position= (50, 80)
/ posttrialpause=100
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%)
</likert>

I tried fixing the issue with the correct response element but that did not work, the participants can still skip the questions.
Any idea why the likert element works so differently in Inquisit 6 and how we can fix this problem?
