Are multiple choice tests measured at ordinal scale or interval scale?
Ordinal. Tests responses are usually correct or incorrect. This would be assigned a value and the number of correct answers is the score of the test. There is a logical order, a correct answer is better than an incorrect answer, so it is not nominal data. Even though we calculate averages, test responses are not interval data, as there is no meaning to the interval. See related link.

What types of scalar data are typically utilized in cross- tabulation?
Zikmund (2003) described the nominal scale as "a scale in which the numbers or letters assigned to objects serve as labels for identification or classification" (p. 296). The ordinal scale is "a scale that arranges objects or alternatives according to their magnitudes" (Zikmund, 2003, p. 297). Both nominal and ordinal scales are typically utilized in cross-tabulation analysis. (Other types of scalar data would include interval or ratio).http://www.quickmba.com/marketing/research-is another website describing nominal and ordinal scales as used for cross-tabulation.Zikmund, W.

What is a nominal number?
Nominal numbers are numbers used for identification only. They do not indicate quantity, rank, or any other measurement. The properties of nominal numbers are the minimum required to refer to an entity as a number. The term "nominal number" is quite recent, and appears to have originated as a usage in school textbooks derived from the statistical term "nominal data", defined as data indicating "...merely statements of qualitative category of membership." Mathematicians would typically describe this concept simply as a mapping between objects, or sets of objects, to the ordinal numbers.
