1.What type of level of measurement is a sleep diary (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio)?

2. What type of LOM is a stress questionaire? 

3. what type of LOM is a health questionaire? 

4. what type of LOM is heart rate?

nominal: Most basic, lowest level of measurement.Categories are discrete (“categorical”) and mutually exclusive. No math functions or ranking.

ordinal:Numerical value that assigns an order to a set of observations – which allows ranking.Each category is mutually exclusive. Unequal spacing between categories. No math functions, but relative indications can be described.

interval: similar to ordinal, but has equal spacing. Indicates how much categories differ. Data are continuous in which zero is random. Unable to report ratios, but can report equal spacing. 

ratio: highest level of measurement. Has prior characteristics, plus an absolute zero.
