An interval scale is a scale in which the numbers are used to rate objects such that numerically equal distances on the scale represent equal distances in the characteristic being measured. This means that the scale has a fixed measurement unit and the distance between values is meaningful. Examples of interval scales include temperature scales and Likert scales.
