| Abstract: | The present paper describes two related methods of evaluating items for purposes of test construction intended to yield measures of Q -factor isolates. The principle procedure is based on the use of correlations between the items and the Q -factor loadings. Empirical studies are cited demonstrating the internal consistency and factorial stability of the constructed tests. Evidence of 'qualitative similarity' between the tests and their Q -factor equivalents is also provided. |
