The present study, presents a comparative analysis of different measurement scales adopted in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), by testing them versus a problem with a known composite answers. Then experimentally, the impact of the different measurement scale elements alteration from three aspects: 1. The limited scale upper bound (up to 9), 2. Changing the scale parameters (a parameters), and 3. Changing the system numbers (from 1, 3…9; to 2, 4…10) on priorities are investigated. The results show that the linear measurement scale has the best performance in comparison to other scales.
