the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 · i? · associational · r?
A longitudinal survey compared children's noncognitive skills as reported by children, guardians, and teachers. The study reports that "teacher reports have the highest internal consistency" among the three respondent types.
"Although reports from all three types of respondents are correlated with each other, teacher reports have the highest internal consistency and are the most predictive of children's later cognitive outcomes and behavior in school."
