ABSTRACT

THE design of the experiment, details of which have been reported in the two previous sections, was geared to a factorial analysis of the intercorrelations between the tests, and we must now turn to such an analysis. Fifty-nine scores in all were intercorrelated but only thirty-four of these were selected for a factor analysis. The reasons for the exclusion of the other scores lay mainly in the fact that they were alternative forms of the same test, or else scores of part of a test where only the total score was used in the factor analysis, and other reasons of a similar nature. The actual thirty-four test scores used are given in Table 5.1. They are not described in detail because the reader will find the detailed descriptions in the previous two sections; enough is said under the heading ‘Nature of Test’ to give a fair indication of the nature of each score without having to turn back to a previous page. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table">
