RTT Scale Assignment

This document discusses the four types of measurement scales: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Nominal scales categorize items without rank or order, like hair color or religion. Ordinal scales rank items but differences between ranks are unknown, like Likert scales. Interval scales have equal distances between points, like Celsius temperatures. Ratio scales have a true zero point, like weight measurements in kilograms.
