continuous:variable can take on all
possible values within a specific, logical
interval (e.g. age, weight)

. can be on a nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio scale
-
Nominal:
grouping items into a number categories
of
(only qualitative), e.g. male/female, names,

Ordinal: eye colors
ifthe categories can be ordered (e.g. bad, medium, good
