  1. Bolded correlations are statistically significant at the p < 0.0001 level. Correlations above 0.5 are in bold italics
  2. There were too few students in the high school basic tracks (HS-B) to calculate reliable correlations, but these students are included in the “All” columns. Note that the averages over countries are not weighted by the number of students in the different groups
  3. MS middle school; HS-A  advanced mathematics track high school; F flexibility; SF spontaneous flexibility; PF potential flexibility
