Note. Agreement is reported as the number and percentage of direct agreement within the range of one level of the feature-specific scale. Reliability is reported by Spearman correlations, which are statistically significant at p < .0001 (*), and the intraclass correlation (ICC) as well as the 95% confidence interval (CI) for the ICC. pts = points.
