Ordinal data is data that can be ranked, but you can not say anything about how far apart the data entries are. You can count and order it but not measure difference between data entries.
For example if we talk about teams, one can be first, the next second etc, but that tells us nothing about how far ahead team 1 is.
In many surveys they use agree or disagree and you rank your answer from 1 to 5.

True or false Data at the ordinal level are quantitative only?
False. Data at the ordinal level can be either quantitative or qualitative. In ordinal data, the categories have a meaningful order or rank, but the difference between the categories is not necessarily equal.
How do you convert ordered data to nominal data?
I think you mean ordinal data. Similar to the golf tournament, you need to determine where to "cut" (from the ordinal data) so as to divide the data into different categories (to the nominal data). For example, if the ordinal data range from 1 to 6 (where 1 = the best) and the cut is 3, then you convert all the numbers from 1 to 3 to "1" (which represents "good") and the all numbers from 4 to 6 to "2" (which represents "bad"). In other words, 1, 2, and 3 from the original ordinal data set are converted to "1" (ordinal data); whereas 4, 5, and 6 from the original date set now become "2" (ordinal data). Eddie T.C. Lam
