rango
Explanation:
Probe en este contexto se refiere al rango que abarca lo que la pregunta quiere sondear. La pregunta sondea lo que el encuestado siente en el RANGO desde Definitely hasta Probably con sus valores intermedios, inclusive.
Recomiendo hacer una búsqueda por 'probe' en la referencia, para observar esta palabra en acción. Pueden haber otras traducciones, pero para un formulario con poco espacio, me quedaría con rango.

Quizá otra opción sea "averiguar" o "hacer averiguaciones".
