Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
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.
q2 i? Using only Analogues, the Chain Puzzle, and Economic Prophecies would have produced an amalgamated rank-order similar to that from all twelve tests. → Chassell 1916

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Comparison of ranking outcomes computed from the original scores of the 100-student trial. The article reports that with only these three tests "only three subjects would have been thrown out of the group of the first twenty-five," and four from the last twenty-five.
"Inspection of the original scores reveals the fact that if three very typical tests, namely, Analogues, the Chain Puzzle, and Economic Prophecies, had been employed, only three subjects would have been thrown out of the group of the first twenty-five,"
