ItemStudy: Added reverse item, but still non-linear

Result

Pivot the xy axes from above, can try non-linear correlation. Always feel that such an accurate test is because there is some bug (systematic flaw) when generating data.

Discussion

Seems no difference) Parameters changed slightly but roughly the same. But it's strange that the absolute value indeed has a high correlation. It's possible that the semantics is still about "range", not the relationship of content direction.

Reference: Example with high similarity 0.86292237496580810.8629223749658081 but much negative correlation 0.5933206623847347-0.5933206623847347:

{
    "C5": "I am not easily frustrated",
    "P8": "I am not easily annoyed"
}

Maybe the boilerplate structure takes up a lot of space, leading to high similarity.

In addition, the intrinsic correlation of the measured variables also has a big impact. For example: although both are negative emotions, they can both be considered as manifestations of introversion and extroversion after suppression (frustration and anger), and to some extent can be considered as two ends of an axis.

Also, C5 is not Reverse while P8 is Reverse. The Reverse of an Item is actually the direction relative to the measured variable, not the semantic direction, which is very noteworthy.
