Summary04124: Insufficent documentation of spss scaletypes
Description

Need more information on the available scaletypes. What do the different types exactly mean and what is default? Is scale compareable to "interval scale" as seen in statistics?

Thanks in advance.

The link can be added to the wiki, but when doesn't know what it means then he doesn't need it :p

I just made it possible to change the default setting (done by SPSS) by adding a question attribute as requested to override the default guess SPSS does so you don't have to change the scale on every new export you do. If you dont'have a problem, just leave it as is. You can always change the scale later on if needed.
