Notes: The t statistics are in parentheses. *, **, *** - statistically significant at the 10, 5, and 1 per cent $The null is that the differences
between categories is equal for all categories. The test statistic is to be compared to a Qui-Square with 14 degrees of freedom. & Identifies
two cut points that have a irregular difference. # Identifies a cluster of categories that seem to have a higher slope (increase difficulty in
transition between adjacent notches). *The null is that, excluding the jump point, within the two identified clusters the slopes are equal. The
test statistic is to be compared to a Qui-Square with either 13 degrees of freedom (if only a jump or different slopes was identified) or 12
degrees of freedom (if both where identified). The p-value is in brackets.

For the correspondence between the ratings and the cut-off points see note to Table 13.
