−0.367
Correlation between exposure predicted from a job's abilities and exposure rated for the job whole, across 271 occupations
Same 271 jobs, two measurements. One asks what the work is made of and adds the parts up; the other looks at the work and scores it. A correlation of −0.367 is not a weak relationship — it is an inverted one.
