Sir, i have a question do we need to test the assumption of both independent and dependent variables or we can only test the dependent one .

Hello sir, I have a doubt. What is the best way to test normality for likert scale data shapiro wilk or kurtosis & skewness . What test we should use.

Also, if your data is normal according to kurtosis & skewness test but indicates non- normality according to shapiro wilk. What should we report and which one is more reliable ?
Sir please do reply

Thank you doctor for the valuable information.
Some argue that no need to do a normality test for likert scale data; it's non-normal always. A Likert scale can never generate normally distributed data.
What do you think about this argument

Can we use normality test to check whether our population is normally distributed or not?
