Differences between ordinal scale and nominal scale?

I've included a couple of links which should explain better the differences among the four levels of measurement: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and Ratio. The nominal level can be thought of as the "name" level. I'll give you an example of nominal level of measurement. Perhaps you are collecting data on the types of cars that go through an intersection. You classify the vehicles passing by as trucks, cars and motorcycles and count how many of each pass by. Ordinal is the "order" level, where some natural order of data is possible. The difference between measurements has no physical meaning. An example of ordinal level of measurement. A hospital asks in the emergency room, for patients to describe their pain on a level of 1 to 10, which 10 being the most severe. As given in the first link, it is interesting that there is not complete agreement on this system of classification.

ABPOOR is likely a categorical variable representing a specific category or level of measurement.

If it implies a ranking or an ordered category, it could represent an ordinal level of measurement. The exact classification depends on the context in which ABPOOR is used.

Is level of education an interval level of measurement?

No, level of education is not an interval level of measurement; it is typically considered a nominal or ordinal level of measurement. Education levels, such as high school, bachelor's, or master's degrees, represent categories that can be ranked (ordinal), but the differences between these categories are not uniform or measurable in a meaningful way, which is a requirement for interval data. In summary, while education levels can be ordered, they do not have equal intervals between them, disqualifying them from being classified as interval data.
