Why should I not use a coloured NPS scale?


In a customer survey via NPS (Net Promoter Score), the question "How likely is it that you will recommend XXX (insert product or service) to your friends and colleagues?" is intended to find out what the respondent thinks about the product/service and how satisfied he or she is with it. The rating is given on a scale of 0 - 10, whereby 0 is considered rather unlikely, 5 a neutral rating and 10 as extremely likely.

Unfortunately, many providers incline to adopt color visualization in their NPS survey. By using the colors in the scale, you clearly signal to the respondent which numbers are considered good and which numbers are considered warning or bad. This can distort the NPS because the respondent no longer sees the recommending thought in the foreground, which is the decisive factor in NPS.

A color visualization works excellently during analysis and in subsequent reports, as it can help to understand the mechanics of the Net Promoter Score. But showing this to the respondent can be a big mistake. It distorts the measurement and the NPS, which defeats the purpose of tracking customer satisfaction.
