First of all, this is not a scientific study, but rather a small hobby project of mine. Also, it does not have a lot of real-world importance, since one might rarely want to classify students into four categories.

I really like that this is sort of a humble project without a big end game. That’s where much of the most interesting findings come from. It's also where the most disastrous outcomes happen. In an attempt to reduce bias or find "factual results", there's a lot that can go wrong here. So I like the self-awareness here.
