  • At 5: κ = 0.458 (SE 0.088), t = 6.2, p < 0.0001; 47 (64%) correct, 15 (21%) underestimated, 11 (15%) overestimated, McNemar's test, p = 0.56 (not significant).

  • At 8: κ = 0.556 (SE 0.082), t = 7.7, p < 0.0001; 51 (70%) correct, nine (12%) underestimated, 13 (18%) overestimated, McNemar's test p = 0.52 (not significant).
