4 Types of Scales Measurement
Nominal Scale
It is possible to categorize Nominal Scale (also known as category variables). They can’t be added, subtracted, divided, or multiplied because they don’t have a numeric value. They don’t have any sort of order, either; if they do, you’re working with ordinal variables.
Ordinal Scale
Items that may be organized in a definite order are included in the ordinal scale. If you can rate something on a first, second, third, and so on scale, you have data on an ordinal scale.
Interval Scale
The numbers on the Interval Scale are organized and have meaningful divisions. It’s a scale that measures quantity and contains equal units, with zero representing an extra measurement point.
Ratio Scale
The ratio scale of measuring is similar to the interval scale, in that it depicts quantities and has corresponding units. On this scale, there is a value of zero (no numbers exist below zero).
