Brainstorm of which correlations we're interested in #8

I've created a new measure for us to do InterCLASS comparisons with. It's very complicated to calculate: you just sum across all the questions :-P

This may not be what we're looking for, but that's okay. For now, we need a single number to represent a person's InterCLASS score to see if there are any interesting patterns that emerge from correlations.

We have a wealth of data now (thanks @chrisaddison!), and I spent a bit of time last night processing the data and making it so that we could easily do correlation plots and fits.

Here's what we have access to (I've split it up into categories so it's easier to parse). Can we come up with a priority list of what type of data we'd like to see? I have some ideas of what's interesting to me (and I've already started generating data for that) but I'll let you start with a blank canvas and let the creative juices flow
