can someone please help me with interpreting this:
The independent variable of self-esteem scale (esteem) describes high scores translate to high esteem in respondents. Esteem is also an interval-ratio variable that ranges from 6 to 20 points. The mean is 16.5, the median is 16 and the mode is 16.

the mean median and mode is all similar so what does that mean?
