Peer reviewedSiegert, Richard J.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1988
A study concluding that the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Revised) (WAIS-R) has three clear factors in its structure is critiqued. An alternative factor comparison technique, FACTOREP, is used with identical data. It is demonstrated that the WAIS-R has only two strong factors--verbal comprehension and perceptual organization.
