Nominal scale only provides categories or labels, without any order or ranking. 
Ordinal scale is similar to nominal, but there is a logical order or ranking.
Interval scale has equal intervals between observations, but there is no true zero point.
Ratio scale has equal intervals between observations and a true zero point. Thus, it provides the most informative level of measurement.
