For instance, in the category of depression, there are over two dozen depression rating scales that have been developed in the past eighty years.
The EF scale is also unofficially used in other countries, including China and Brazil. [2] [3] The rating of a tornado is determined by conducting a tornado damage survey. The scale has the same basic design as the original Fujita scale—six intensity categories from zero to five, representing increasing degrees of damage.

Nowadays, the extended scale is used in Taiwan, [13] mainland China [14] and Vietnam, [15] which are often affected by typhoons.
Percentile ranks are not on an equal-interval scale; that is, the difference between any two scores is not the same as between any other two scores whose difference in percentile ranks is the same. For example, 50 − 25 = 25 is not the same distance as 60 − 35 = 25 because of the bell-curve shape of the distribution. Some percentile ranks ...
