Good suggestions re: the questions about reading. Thanks. I’ll change them.
Your comments about real-world successes are good too. Will GPA be more or less country-neutral if I ask for respondants’ percentiles? I’ll throw in an urban vs. rural question next to the question about drivers’ licenses. I agree that “number of best friends” is far from definitive, but then again so is income (not everyone prioritizes money): the idea is to ask about success in hitting many different indicators that some portion of respondants will have aimed for, so as to accumulate many weak indicators (which may together make a stronger indicator) of success in hitting one’s goals.
Do you have other ideas for other questions to include here?
