Direct linkSideridis, Georgios D.; Tsaousis, Ioannis; Al-harbi, Khaleel A. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2015
The purpose of the present study was to extend the model of measurement invariance by simultaneously estimating invariance across multiple populations in the dichotomous instrument case using multi-group confirmatory factor analytic and multiple indicator multiple causes (MIMIC) methodologies. Using the Arabic version of the General Aptitude Test…

Academic psychology has long been composed of two disciplines, one experimental and one correlational. These two disciplines each developed their own method of studying structure in data: multidimensional scaling (MDS) and factor analysis. Both methods use similar kinds of input data, proximity measures on object pairs. Both represent the object…

Dolan, Conor V.; Roorda, Willemijn; Wicherts, Jelte M. – Intelligence, 2004
Spearman's hypothesis states that the differences between Blacks and Whites in psychometric IQ are attributable to a fundamental difference in general intelligence ("g"). To investigate this hypothesis, Jensen devised the method of correlated vectors. This method involves calculating the correlation between the factor loadings of the…

Shaw, James B.; McCormick, Ernest J. – 1976
The study was directed towards the further exploration of the use of attribute ratings as the basis for establishing the job component validity of tests, in particular by using different methods of combining "attribute-based" data with "job analysis" data to form estimates of the aptitude requirements of jobs. The primary focus…

Palmer, Pamla; And Others – 1990
A statistical comparison was made of two test batteries, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and the General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB), using a sample of 406 subjects (98 civilian high school students and 308 military recruit examinees). The sample was predominantly white and male. A first analyses described the sample and…
