Ratio level measurement uses all aspects of other types of measurement: mutually exclusive categories,exhaustive categories,ordered ranks,equally spaced intervals,and a continuum of values.Interval level measurement uses interval scales,which have equal numerical distances between intervals.Nominal level measurement is used when data can be organized into categories of a defined property,such as a disease diagnosis,but when categories cannot be rank ordered.Ordinal level measurement is used when data collected can be rank ordered.
