This paper gives two scaling procedures for measurement of asymmetry observed in comparative judgement in terms of three ordered categories. With a revised law of comparative judgement, a least squares solution and a maximum likelihood solution are suggested for the parameter estimation with some statistical tests. Numerical examples are illustrated, and features and applicability of the present work are discussed in comparison with related work.
