- results
The full pgdcm results list object.
- item

Semantic Interpretation
* **High Value (> 0.6)**: The item discriminates incredibly well. Masters are vastly more likely to get it right than non-masters.
* **Low Value (< 0.2)**: A weak item. Masters and non-masters have practically the same chance of answering correctly.
