  1. The problem is that I have two teachers in agreeance. The 4 point scale for the restaurant is ordinal and the 7 point scale is interval. I'm trying to figure out why both aren't ordinal. The reason given is that the 7 point scale has labeled a 1 as negative and a 7 as positive. But nowhere does it say that a 4 in mood is twice as good as a 2 in mood. And the numbers may mean different things to different people. Why are so many academics in agreeance?
  2. I'm pretty sure I'm right and the teacher is refusing to change, but I want to double check. For sanities sake. In our textbook, there is an example of a 7 point rating scale that is listed as an interval scale. But in the online test, a 4 point rating scale is listed as being ordinal. Even Quizlet and other test bank style sites list all rating scales as being ordinal scales. Why? Am I really missing something, or is this a failure of school officials to admit they have a bad question that is being repeated in many schools? Edit: For clarity. The four point scale is for restaurants and the seven point scale is for mood. Both, in my opinion, have to be ordinal. Edit: And actually, I think it's the book that is wrong. The example of mood is in our textbook.
