Imagine that a variable "sensitivity to others" is measured from 10 (low) to 80 (high).Although it is possible to have low sensitivity to others, it is not conceptually possible to have no sensitivity at all.What type of variable is this MOST likely to be?

This variable is most likely an interval variable because it has meaningful distances between values but does not have a true zero point.
