Is a Likert-type scale ordinal or interval data?
I’ve seen many people getting confused for the Likert scale type. Many people say that it is ordinal data, and many say that it is interval data. Which exactly is it?

You are dealing with an ordinal scale if you cannot consistently define and measure distances between objects you are interested in, but it is possible to rank order those objects. And, if you cannot even rank the considered objects, then you aren’t dealing with ordered objects on an ordinal scale ~ probably all you have is an interval scale.
