Details
~~~~~~~

hese items were collected as part of the SAPA project to develop online
measures of ability (Revelle, Wilt and Rosenthal, 2009). The score means
are higher than national norms suggesting both self selection for people
taking on line personality and ability tests and a self reporting bias
in scores.
