Levels of Measurement
Numerical values are just a “name.”
No ordering is implied.
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant/Realistic and Time-limited.
Meaningful zero point. Continuous variables. Same properties as interval level variables.
Continuous variables. Distance between values are assumed equal. Distance between attributes does have meaning
Rank-ordered. Variables can only be specific values. Distance between attributes do not have any meaning.
