Ordinal measurement level allows for the naming and categorization of attributes, but also allows for rank ordering of those attributes. This would be helpful for evaluators who need to make comparisons or judgments between different attributes or characteristics. Ratio measurement level is not necessary for this purpose, as it involves a true zero point and comparisons based on ratios. Interval measurement level also allows for rank ordering, but lacks a true zero point, making it less precise in its measurements. Nominal measurement level only allows for naming and categorizing attributes, without any rank ordering.
