==================
Hi Community,
I'd like to create a matrix table where I have statements, with a Likert scale, and instead of circles, I have descriptor pieces of text. So instead of choosing just the number (i.e., 0-5), they are choosing the descriptor (this is important context to help the participant choose which sits on the scale). I have attached an image to help clarify what I am trying to do. 

Thanks,
Tarna Clarke.

Why don't use 3 single choice question ?
Less difficult to understand for participants

Thanks for your comment! 
I could separate them out into 3 separate choice questions, but that still doesn't fix my issue. I still need to add descriptors so that the individual has context for what is a 0, in comparison to a 5 (for instance). The descriptor text has important information to help the individual decide where it sits on the 0-5. Each descriptor is different. I need to know if there is a question format which will allow me to use this style. I'll attached a copy of my descriptors in an image for context.

Hi,
You may use tooltips or popovers.
Send a lss export of these questions.

? Use 3 single choice question with choice at

<strong>1</strong> <small>blah blah blah<small>
<strong>2</strong> <small>blah blah blah<small>

Why do something complex when you can do it easily ?

I am sorry, I appreciate your reply but I don't understand your proposed format...I think I need more information on how it would look beyond 'blah blah blah' haha I am a bit of a visual person and can't seem to picture how it would end up for someone completing my item(s).
Also, I should mention that this is an assessment instrument - just making it easy, doesn't necessarily add value to my data collection. I am looking for specific information out of this data collection process. Individuals will read a scenario and apply my instrument to that - all I want them to be able to do is to click the box which best reflects that situation (the text descriptors I am seeking to add).
Honestly, I don't see how that isn't easy. If I could make it work, it would be as simple as clicking a box.
Additionally, the instrument is not an online instrument, I just need an easy way for individuals to test my instrument. Of course I could provide them with a digital copy and then they fill it in, and send it back but I was hoping to just set it up digitally to make it easier for them.
Regardless, they'd still need to use the instrument in the manner I am attempting to replicate in the survey. So, for the sake of argument...putting aside complexity or ease for now...Is there a question format which would allow me to achieve this? If not, totally cool, I'd just like some sort of answer to that particular question.

Thanks for that suggestion! I think the popovers would be a good work around...I'd need to have a play with how this look on their end to see if it achieves what I need. I really appreciate your insight though! Thanks again.

If you put in on a popover : some user didn't see it. So you don't think this information is important to answer. If it is important, it's best to show it.

It's important to keep things simple on the Internet, so you can be sure that participants understand what you're trying to achieve!

The information is definitely important and should be seen so maybe the popovers is not the way to go.
Perhaps this is just something which cannot be done digitally with the same format.
I get what you mean with the choices...I have to set the data collection up the same way that the instrument is viewed and used in the Word document form so I don't know if I can apply your suggestion and it'll make sense in both formats (online and digitally). I'll explore that in more detail and see how I go.

WEB != PRINT

You can and must not do the same on web and print ! It's not the same media !

Hi,
is it correct that in each subquestion there is a different explanation of the scale?

In this case a design as array is really not the best.
Though you CAN do it, either with text or with poopover, but it will be very confusing for the respondent. and of course difficult to answer on smaller devices.
 

Here a second screenshot
Read the images as your scale explanation
 

Anayway: In my opinion you should split the question as Denis suggested

But what I am missing most ist a better explanation of
"What is 'Facilities of living environment'?"
"What is 'Maintainance of living environment'?"
If this would be explained better these long explanations of each point are obsolete.

Yes, I think I will do the separation as suggested Denis. At least for some of it just to see how it would look. I can always go back to the Word version and make the same changes - it's just a matter of copy and paste - although tedious haha
Without boring you with the details, those aspects are defined, they are just done in the guidance tool (instructions on how to use the instrument). Participants will be provided with the instructions, to help them in completing the instrument. 
The descriptors were developed by a content of experts and those in the field, would know and understand those terms and if not, as I said, they are explained in another document.
