One possible opposite of a numerical scale is a "nominal" scale.
In the study of statistics, we use four "scales of measurement": nominal; ordinal; interval; ratio. The "nominal," scale, which simply names categories, is, in a sense, non-numerical.
On "nominal" scales, people or objects with the same attribute are assigned the same scale-value. Examples of categories on nominal scales are ethnicity, gender, marital status, styles of housing, models of cars.
For example, a nominal scale of "marital status" might be numbered as follows:
1. Single, never married.
2. Single, previously married.
3. Married.
Although we may count the number of people (or items) in each category, the numerals assigned to the "nominal" scale have no 'numeric' meaning in the way that we usually think about numbers. On that view, a nominal scale may be said to be non-numerical and, therefore, the opposite of a numerical scale.
Actually, integers form a subset of numbers, not the other way around.

Is a steam-and-leaf plot categorical of numerical?
Not sure about steam-and-leaf but a stem-and-leaf plot is used for numerical data.
What is the numerical value of 10 to the 15th power?
1015 = 1 000 000 000 000 000 which is one thousand billion or one billiard on the long scale (as used in Europe) or one quadrillion on the short scale (as used in USA). * * * * * The UK, which IS a part of Europe and the main English speaking one within it, has not used the long scale since the mid 1960s so that part of the answer is misleading.
What is a numerical scale used to express the strength of an earthquake?
Richter scale
What is a numerical scale used to express the strenghth of an earthquake?
A Richter scale
What is a scale on a graph?
The scale is the numerical system that is used to define the axis of a graph.
What does the numerical scale of map indicate?
The numerical scale on a map shows how many units of measurement taken from the scale represents the actual distance on the ground. If a and b are 2 miles apart on the ground, the a and b shown on the map should also represent 2 miles apart when measured on the numerical scale.
The type of scale 124000 is an example of?
The scale 1:24000 is a numerical factor scale, equivalent to a large scale map.
Definition of numerical data?
Numerical data is data measured or identified on a numerical scale. Numerical can be analyzed using statistical methods, and results can be displayed using tables, charts, histograms, and graphs.
What is a numerical scale used to measure the magnitude or energy release of an earthquake?
