In this study, the factorial invariance of the ASIS (Anadolu-Sak Intelligence Scale) was examined across time. Data were obtained from there groups of first-grade students who were administered the ASIS in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The analyses were conducted using multisample confirmatory factor analyses. Factorial invariance was tested with six…

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children's (WISC) factorial\theoretical structure has undergone numerous substantive changes since it was first developed, and each of these changes has subsequently been questioned by assessment experts. Given remaining questions about the structure of the latest revision, the WISC-V, the present study used…

Despite the fact that the digital administration format of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V) was published in 2016, no research to date has examined its factor structure using all 10 of the primary subtests to measure intellectual ability. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to use exploratory and confirmatory…

The present study examined the posited structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Fifth Edition (WISC-V) ancillary index scores with normative sample participants aged 6-16 years (N = 2200) using a series of confirmatory factor analyzes (CFA) with maximum likelihood estimation. CFA results supported the retention of auditory…

Background/purpose: In addition to many competencies of school administrators, the level of intellectuality can increase the commitment of educational actors to the organization in schools with sociocultural diversity, which is considered as a wealth of Turkey. Considering the sociocultural developments of the present day, it is important to know…

The present study examined the factor structure of the Differential Ability Scales--Second Edition (DAS-II) core subtests from the standardization sample via confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using methods (bifactor modeling and variance partitioning) and procedures (robust model estimation due to nonnormal subtest score distributions)…

Background: Children with reading difficulty exhibit deficits in multiple cognitive areas (e.g., language skills, working memory, processing speed). Therefore, evaluation of reading difficulty typically includes assessment of both academic functioning and general intelligence (IQ). Although the IQ construct is considered robust in the general…

The purpose of this study was to examine the factorial invariance of the ASIS (Anadolu Sak Intelligence Scale) across gender. Raw scores from the ASIS standardization study (N = 4641) were used in the analyses. Factorial invariance was analyzed by gender across three age groups: 4-7 (N = 2528), 8-9 (N = 848), and 10-12 (N = 1265) using the…

This study aimed to develop a comprehensive tool to assess underachievement in gifted students, incorporating input from parents, teachers, and students themselves. A total of 285 participants, including 95 gifted students, their parents, and teachers, were involved in the study. The results have revealed a four-factor structure for the Gifted…

This study utilized confirmatory factor analyses to examine the latent factor structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Fourth Edition, Italian adaptation (WISC-IV Italian) standardization sample. One through five, oblique first-order factor models and higher-order as well as bifactor models were examined and compared using CFA.…

We investigated by means of a simulation study how well methods for factor rotation can identify a two-facet simple structure. Samples were generated from orthogonal and oblique two-facet population factor models with 4 (2 factors per facet) to 12 factors (6 factors per facet). Samples drawn from orthogonal populations were submitted to factor…

This article addresses conceptual and methodological shortcomings regarding conducting and interpreting intelligence test factor analytic research that appeared in the Decker, S. L., Bridges, R. M., Luedke, J. C., & Eason, M. J. (2020). Dimensional evaluation of cognitive measures: Methodological confounds and theoretical concerns.…

The positive manifold--the finding that cognitive ability measures demonstrate positive correlations with one another--has led to models of intelligence that include a general cognitive ability or general intelligence (g). This view has been reinforced using factor analysis and reflective, higher-order latent variable models. However, a new theory…

The paper aims to develop the instrument about analogy test to measure the level of intelligence of undergraduate students. Determination of the number of samples is done by purposive sampling technique. This instrument is analyzed by factor analysis. Of the 15 items that will be used to develop the academic potential test instrument for verbal…

The factor structure of the 16 core and supplementary Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model subtests for the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (KABC-II; Kaufman and Kaufman, 2004a) standardization sample samples aged 7-18 (N = 2025) was examined using exploratory factor analytic techniques (EFA) not included in the KABC-II manual…
