The one variable which I would be interested in knowing would include the age of the candidate as it helps in understanding the data in an accurate way. Nominal: This section helps in measuring the logical needs that will help in understanding the age of the student. Do you go to school? (Yes or No) Ordinal: Which age will you be selecting for yourself? (if it is within 13 years it can be considered young, while if it is older than 19 years then it will be considered old).
