We cannot order Social Security numbers in any meaningful way. Some people have Social Security numbers that start with a higher number than others but there is no meaningful difference signified by this. So the Social Security number is a nominal level variable. Any time that you arbitrarily assign a person or another entity an identification number, the resulting variable will be nominal because the numbers d4o not signify anything important or meaningful. On the other hand, interval level variables are ordered.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Nominal rigidity, also known as price-stickiness or wage-stickiness, describes a situation in which the nominal price is resistant to change. Complete nominal rigidity occurs when a price is fixed in nominal terms for a relevant period of time. For example, the price of a particular good might be fixed at $10 per unit for a year. Partial nominal rigidity occurs when a price may vary in nominal terms, but not as much as it would if perfectly flexible. For example, in a regulated market there might be limits to how much a price can change in a given year.
