From page 195...
... Indeed, their bivariate correlations computed across the various items in each domain and across the 832 occupations included in the 14.0 database are as follows: Domain Importance × Level Pearson Correlation Generalized Work Activities .92*
From page 196...
... The evidence indicating adequate interrater reliability among analysts suggests that they consistently rate abilities and skills, but interrater agreement does not imply validity. Second, a factor analysis of the ability ratings in the 14.0 database confirms the presence of substantial data redundancy among the ratings of the 52 abilities included in this particular domain.
From page 197...
... Therefore, analyst-based ability and skill ratings can be reliably predicted using simple linear combinations of incumbent-based ratings in other domains. Eliminating analyst-based ratings of abilities and skills would cut almost 90 additional items from the surveys, hence lowering data collection costs and possibly increasing response rates.
