Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nominal is the least useful measurement level as it only categorizes data into distinct groups. Ordinal is the next level up as it allows for ranking of data, but not necessarily precise measurements. Interval is a higher level as it allows for precise measurements and meaningful intervals between values, but does not have a true zero point. Ratio is the highest level as it includes a true zero point, which allows for meaningful ratios to be calculated.
