Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Factor analysis is the statistical technique used to identify the different factors or underlying dimensions that intelligence tests measure. It identifies the correlations between test items and groups them based on the underlying factor they measure, allowing researchers to identify which tests are measuring similar aspects of intelligence. Sample mean, sample proportion, and population variance are other statistical techniques used in data analysis but are not specific to identifying intelligence test measures.
