Get a score for everyone: send everyone to 10 hours of therapy with a qualified therapist. Get a score: calculate a correlation b/w the two ranging from -1 to +1. Validate w/ a previously validated survey: new survey to everyone, old survey to everyone, correlate. Core concept side note : practice lab test question. Correlation just looking at how two things are related, and experiment you have things that you control for and that stay the same all the time. Correlations can be better because of the fact that you don"t need to find anything or solve for anything.
