No, the scale will not have the same reading when you ascend and descend in the elevator. As the elevator ascends, the scale will show a higher weight due to the additional force from the acceleration of the elevator. Conversely, when the elevator descends, the scale will show a lower weight because of the deceleration. Thus, the readings will differ depending on the direction and acceleration of the elevator.
