A FACTOR ANALYTIC STUDY OF THE AI AND THE CCI |
| |
Abstract: | While the AI contains 13 common factors and the CCI contains 11 common factors, these factors together span only 22 dimensions. The lost dimensions may be associated with simple combinations of certain AI factors, and apparently result from differential tendencies of certain personalities to choose different colleges. One dimension of choice lies in the realm of academic interests and another in the realm of social relationships. In contrast with one another, the CCI is primarily a measure of college environment independent of the personality of the respondent, while the AI is primarily a measure of the individual reporting about himself. |
