$4\mathrm{.}4\mathrm{.}2.$ Thabo subjected the two measures: $$Grit scale$$ and $$Attitude to Entrepreneurial success$$ to a test of reliability.

The outputs of the reliability test for the grit scale are shown in Table $4\mathrm{.}4\mathrm{.}2\mathrm{.}1$ Table $4\mathrm{.}4\mathrm{.}2\mathrm{.}3.$ The outputs of the
