Discrete vs. Continuous Variables. Quantitative variables can be further classified as discrete or continuous. If a variable can take on any value between its minimum value and its maximum value, it is called a continuous variable; otherwise, it is called a discrete variable.

More difficult are continuous variables, usually vowels, which cannot be scored in the same way as discrete variables.
