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.

How do you write 6 billion 3 million 8?
As I use the long scale (based on powers of a million) as used in Europe, I write it as:6000003000008 Others who use the short scale (based on power of a thousand) as used in USA, would write it as:6003000008
Is a steam-and-leaf plot categorical of numerical?

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.
