simultaneously together give effect towards increasing number interior design project with value
of 25,1%. It can be explained because attitude competency(X3) has a very weak positive and
insignificant correlation of 0,045 with a significance value 0,372; also partial causal effect t test
result which is t count < t table and sig value > 0,05 i.e. 0,328 < 2,010 and 0,372 > 0,05.
