    Trouble identifying measurement scales



    Hi all!
    I am trying to figure out what type of scale is used in the Five Time Sit to Stand test (in this test, patients are supposed to stand up and sit down as quickly as possible). Norms are:
    60-69 years old: 11.4 seconds
    70-79: 12.6 seconds
    80-89: 14.8 seconds
    Is this an ordinal scale?
    I would greatly appreciate any help!
    Thank you

    If you are referring to age classes, yes it is an ordinal scale. See this link
