Nominal and ordinal scales of measurement can be either numeric or nonnumeric. Nominal scales involve labeling or categorizing data, while ordinal scales involve ranking or ordering data. Both types of scales can use words or numbers as labels or rankings, making them flexible in terms of numeric or nonnumeric options. In contrast, interval and ratio scales involve numerical values and have specific numerical intervals or ratios that cannot be nonnumeric.
