KSAO category: relatively stable capacities underlying task performance (cognitive, physical, psychomotor, sensory). GMA is the dominant general ability predictor.

§3The math on what we know

Synthesized priors from the live registry: pooled r, studies (k), total N, top study grade, and heterogeneity. Rows flagged for heterogeneity or single-study evidence are directional, not settled — read them as a central tendency.

Composed live from the Principia registry. Effect sizes are synthesized priors (random-effects meta-analysis); grades are the top study-quality grade in each pool; I² is pooled heterogeneity. Source-instrument item wording is withheld pending copyright clearance (PRN-207); the Principia rendering is owned and shown in full.
