response_type
The form of the response act — what kind of answer is collected: choice, rating, ranking (selected from what is presented) or production, motor (generated by the subject). Declared per response even where derivable from other fields, because the derivations then serve as validation checks rather than the source of truth.

Notes
- Orthogonal to
job_type: a value belongs inresponse_typeiff it can vary while the job is held fixed AND recur across different jobs (a recall job can collect production OR choice; a rating can serve a decide or a judge job). "Recall" is therefore a job, never a response_type. - The coarse mode (select vs generate) is implied by the value and is not a separate column: choice/rating/ranking are selections; production/motor are generations.
