Notes

  1. Note: objective measurement is defined as “the repetition of a unit amount that maintains its size, within an allowable range of error, no matter which instrument, intended to measure the variable of interest, is used and no matter who or what relevant person or thing is measured” (Institute for Objective Measurement, 2000).
