The variable 'Rating' is an ordinal variable, as it represents the rating given to an employee's work which can be ordered or ranked into categories (e.g. excellent, good, average, below average, poor). It is not a dependent variable as it does not directly depend on any other variable in the model, and it is not a continuous variable as it does not have a range of possible numerical values. It is also not a Poisson variable as it does not represent counts of occurrences of a specific event.
