Answer:

1. Nominal

Explanation:

In statistics, nominal level of measurement, numbers or letters are simply used in labeling or categorizing responses that have no numerical value or are not quantitative. These numbers or letters are simply tags or labels which identify items. Nominal level of measurement is usually used for variables that are qualitative rather than quantitative.

The term cultural intelligence to determine this ability to interpret the foundations of cultural interactions, the development of attentive posture to these interactions, and the ability to adapt to different intercultural situations, while avoiding turning on 'autopilot'.
