The data described are ordinal. This is because the categories (Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, and Strongly Agree) have a meaningful order or ranking. They reflect a progression of agreement, but the differences between the categories are not necessarily equal. In other words, while you can say that "Agree" is a higher level of agreement than "Neutral," you cannot quantify the exact difference between them.
