Nominal: In this level of measurement, numbers are used to categorize the data. For example, if gender is your variable, the responses will be male or female. A dichotomous nominal variable has only two categories.Ordinal: Ordinal level variables have a meaningful order to them such as rank.For example there is an order to âdrink sizeâ (small, medium, large), however there is not a consistent distance between sizes. Scale: Numeric variables that have equal intervals between each value, for example age.rdinal: Ordinal level variables have a meaningful order to them such as rank.
