The measurement scale is used to categorize and define numbers and variables quantitatively and qualitatively. There are four (4) measurement scales: (Nominal, Ordinary, Interval, Ratio) which were used depending on the information that the data is supposed to represent. Each scale tends to represent a specific type of information. The nominal scale describes the unrestricted assignment of numbers (Stevens, 1946). It is used to categorize data without any order or structure. For example, a building can be classified according to its type and use. As for the Burgundy Corporate Tower, it is classified as a mixed-use office/condominium building (www.manilaoffice space.com, nd); This information only describes the building type, but does not specifically give numerical values, such as number of occupants, percentage occupancy, building height, etc. Another example is to label the architectural style of the building, the tower could be classified as an example of postmodern architecture. As defined on www.wikipedia.com, postmodern architecture is also defined as neo-eclectic, where reference and ornament returned to the facade, replacing aggressive, unadorned modern styles. This eclecticism is often combined with the use of non-orthogonal angles and unusual surfaces. This type of information only describes the physical characteristics of the building but does not necessarily define numerical values. Besides categorizing the building style, other information such as the type of occupants such as office tenants, residents, visitors and internal employees are data that can be described by this type of measurement. The ordinal scale represents ranking, order or sequence. . However, it does not necessarily specify the interv... middle of article...... retrieved: November 15, 2013 from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_the_Philippines• Measuring scales (nd) retrieved: November 12, 2013 from http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~smarkham/resources/scaling.htm• Postmodern Architecture (November 2013) Accessed November 28, 2013 from http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Postmodern_architecture• Stevens SS (1946) Theory of Scale of Measurement Retrieved November 26, 2013 from http://personal.stevens.edu/~ysakamot/719/week3/Stevens_Measurement.pdf• ​​​​The Four Scales Data Measurement: Learning Statistics (nd) Retrieved: November 12, 2013 from http://voices.yahoo.com/the-four-scales-measurement-data-learning-statistics-5140223.html?cat=3• Subject n°1: Introduction to measurement and statistics (nd) Accessed November 12, 2013 at http://lsc.cornell.edu/Sidebars/Stats%20Lab%20PDFs/Topic1.pdf
