The nominal scale is the most elementary level of measurement as it involves categorizing data into distinct categories or labels with no inherent order or magnitude.

The other scales (ordinal, interval, ratio) involve more complex measurement systems with varying degrees of order, magnitude, and quantitative measurement.
