Answer to Question #84782 in Management for Sean Wentzel

Question

Why is the ratio scale considered to be the most powerful of the four scales?

Answer 1

A ratio scale is featured to be the most powerful of the four scales because it has a zero origin, not an arbitrary origin. As a result, it consumes all the properties of the other three scales. In addition, apart from measuring the magnitude of the difference between points on a particular scale, it also takes into consideration the proportion differences.
