NSRdata: The NSR's Education Test

Description

The data in this data set is from The Norwegian Centre for Science Recruitment's (NSR) online “education test”. In this test youths may answer a questionnaire to check their so-called cognitive types, their science interest, their preferred learning methods, and their interest to various science subjects.

Usage

NSRdata

Format

A data frame with 10 000 observations (rows) and 2 variables (columns).

	Column name	Data type	Description	Values
[,1]	Science	numeric	Average liking score	(1 - 6)
[,2]	Age	factor	5 different age-groups	(1, 13, 16, 19, 30)

NSRdata contains two variables, Science and Age. Science is an average liking score (scale 1-6) to various STEM-subjects, and Age is a factor indicating different age-groups:

1:	1-12 years
13:	13-15 years
16:	16-19 years
19:	19-29 years
30:	30 + years

Details

The education test suggests different areas within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) within which the youth may find suitable work. We have an excerpt of these data.
