All-Time Distribution

Comparison to Other Items

Based on all-time mean agreement, this item ranks 64 out of 134 qualifying items and is at the 52.6 percentile.

Qualifying items have 100 or more total observations. Higher means indicate more agreement and therefore a higher rank.

Monthly Trend

Observed Trend

Observations suggest unchanging agreement over the observed period, from 2026-06-29 to 2026-08-28. The estimated change over that period is -0.008 points on a 0 to 10 scale. Regression results place a 95% confidence interval around that observed-period change of [-1.915, 1.899].

Regression table

The daily slope annualized over 365.25 days is -0.049 points per year, with a 95% confidence interval of [-11.661, 11.563]. This short-window annualized number is provided for reference, but the observed-period change above is the primary trend estimate.
