Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The median can be used with ordinal variables (where there is a natural order to the categories) and interval-ratio variables (where the numerical distance between values is meaningful). It is not suitable for nominal variables (where categories are just labels with no inherent order or numerical meaning) or any type of variable as there may be more appropriate measures of central tendency for other types of variables.
