  1. The first three columns show the distribution (in percent) of indicator variance on the three different variation sources. Thus, the first column gives the reliability ratio of each indicator. The last column gives the ratio (in percent) between reliability ratios calculated in models respectively correcting for and ignoring local dependence.
