Ordinal variables are in form of ranks - 1st, 2nd, 3rd & so on

Continuous variable can be in form of whole & non whole numbers - can take values like 4.8, 10.5 etc

  • Qualitative variables can't be measured in terms of numerical units.

Categorical variables can take only few options or categories, like gender 'male' or 'female'
