The highest level of measurement scale is :

  • A.Nominal scale
  • B.Ordinal scale
  • C.Internal scale
  • D.Ratio scale

Answer: D

The highest level of measurement is the ratio scale.

Stevens's four levels are nominal (categories), ordinal (order), interval (equal distances) and ratio (equal distances and a true zero). The ratio scale has all the properties of the lower ones plus an absolute zero, so ratios such as 'twice as heavy' are meaningful; weight, height and income are ratio data.

Nominal and ordinal are the lowest levels, and the 'internal scale' (meaning interval) lacks a true zero, so it ranks below ratio.
