Asking about people’s “preference on a 1 to 5 scale” (rather than, say, “their appreciation on a −2 to +2 scale” or “on a scale from strongly dislike to strongly like”), then seeing the next line begin “I like spicy things”, I nearly interpreted the far left to be “I like this only a little” and the far right to be “I like this a lot”.
