English term
stages
Could you please tell me the exact and proper English words for expressing various stages of these feelings from low to high. I have though of the following but these don't appear to be befitting:
0-Nothing
1-Very Weak
3-Light Slow
5-Sever/Strong
7-Very Severe/Very Strong
10-Very Severe/Very Strong - Maximum
*_Completely maximum
Thank you

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

[Notes: This is how I would go about designing a "survey questionnaire." Obviously, there are many different and equally correct ways of doing this. This is what I would recommend from my years of experience as a Marketing professional and academic.]

Mistake - please remove "completely maximum"
that does not make sense

Will Matter
: After "extremely severe" one could use "most severe" to indicate the highest level of pain / suffering. 5 could be "Intermediate", 7 could be "Severe" & 10 "Most Severe".
