Zhrnutie	Ordinal scale development is the systematic construction and validation of multi-item measurement instruments whose response options form an ordered but not necessarily equal-interval sequence — most commonly Likert-type formats (e.g., 1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree). It applies psychometric techniques that respect the ordinal nature of items rather than treating them as continuous.	Ordinal exploratory factor analysis discovers latent factors underlying a set of ordinal items — typically Likert scales — by computing polychoric correlations among the items and then applying a weighted least squares estimator. It avoids the distortions that arise when continuous EFA methods are naively applied to ordered categorical responses.
