A nominal scale is the most basic form of measurement. Notice that the word nominal comes from the same root as the word name. So to use a nominal scale is essentially to name. For instance, I can 'measure' the religion of each person in a sample by assigning a broad religious category from the set {Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Animalist, ...} to each person. This would be the use of a nominal scale.

What is the opposite of a numerical scale?
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.
