I'm not sure what you are asking.

Is this homework?

Do you want to know what qualifications are needed and looked for?

It is a survey question,what I'm looking for is a Likert-type question to the question
Example: How likely are you to repurchase from JCPenny?
a. most lightly
b. likely
And so far

A Likert item is simply a statement which the respondent is asked to evaluate according to any kind of subjective or objective criteria; generally the level of agreement or disagreement is measured. It is considered symmetric or "balanced" because there are equal amounts of positive and negative positions. Often five ordered response levels are used. (Wikipedia)

Thus, "not true" to "very true" may be used as positions.
