Ordinal Variables

An ordinal variable is a categorical variable for which the possible values are ordered. Ordinal variables can be considered “in between” categorical and quantitative variables.

Example: Educational level might be categorized as
    1: Elementary school education
    2: High school graduate
    3: Some college
    4: College graduate
    5: Graduate degree

With ordinal scales, it is the order of the values is what’s important and significant, but the differences between each one is not really known.

“Ordinal” is easy to remember because is sounds like “order” and that’s the key to remember with “ordinal scales”–it is the order that matters, but that’s all you really get from these.
