“…Inspection of Table 2 reveals that the ¢ve factors correspond closely with the well-known 16PF second-order factors reported by Hofer et al (1997) and Krug and Johns (1986). Following Krug and Johns (1986) these factors are labeled as Extroversion, Tough Poise, Control, Independence and Anxiety.…”

“…On the basis of previous factor analytic studies, it was expected that the correlations between the 15 16PF scales would be adequately and meaningfully explained by ¢ve second order factors (Hofer et al, 1997;Krug & Johns, 1986). Accordingly, ¢ve second order factors were extracted by means of the principal axis method with iterated communalities.The factors were rotated to simple structure according to the promax criterion (k = 4).…”

“…The second-order factors are broader than the ¢rst-order factors and explain a wider range of behaviour. The second-order factors are also more reliable and replicable (in a factor analytic sense) than the ¢rst-order factors (Hofer et al, 1997;Krug & Johns, 1986). …”

“…One of the 16PF scales, namely Scale B, measures intelligence rather than personality and this scale was not included in the present analysis. Previous factor analytic studies have shown that the correlations among the 15 remaining scales can be summarised and explained in terms of ¢ve second-order factors, namely Extroversion, Anxiety, Tough Poise, Independence and Control (Hofer et al, 1997;Krug & Johns, 1986). The second-order factors are broader than the ¢rst-order factors and explain a wider range of behaviour.…”

This study examined the relationship between vocational interests and basic personality traits. The interest ¢elds of the 19-Field-Interest Inventory were related to the second order factors of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire by means of a factor extension analysis. The results showed that extroverts tend to be interested in ¢elds related to social contact and the in£uencing of other people. Emotionally sensitive individuals tend to be interested in the arts and languages. Independent individuals tend to be interested in creative thinking. The implications of the ¢ndings for career counselling are discussed. OPSOMMINGHierdie studie het ondersoek ingestel na die verband tussen beroepsbelangstellings en basiese persoonlikheidstrekke. Die 19 belangstellingsvelde van die 19-Veld-belangstellingsvraelys is aan die hand van 'n faktorverlengingsontleding met die tweede orde faktore van die 16 -Persoonlikheidsfaktorvraelys in verband gebring. Die resultate dui daarop dat ekstroverte geneig is om in velde wat sosiale kontak en die be|« nvloeding van mense behels, belang te stel. Emosioneel sensitiewe individue is geneig om in kunssinnge en taal verwante velde belang te stel. Onafhanklike individue is geneig om in kreatiewe denke belang te stel. Die implikasies van die resultate vir loopbaanvoorligting word bespreek.

“…Slični rezultati su i kod opšteg faktora Nezavisnost, gdje primarni faktor Opreznost (L) nema izraženo zasićenje (.10), kako se očekuje prema podacima iz priručnika za upitnik 16PF. Najsnažnije opšte dokaze o egzistenciji primarnih, pa i faktora drugog reda, pružili su Hofer, Horn i Eber (Hofer, Horn, & Eber, 1997) na uzorku od preko trideset hiljada ispitanika. Autori su, koristeći konfirmatorsku faktorsku analizu i strukturalne jednačine, ukazali na faktorsku invarijantnost upitnika u odnosu na primjenu različitih faktorsko analitičkih solucija.…”

Validacija egzistencije faktora drugog reda u Cattellovom inventaru ličnosti 16pf

Prema podacima o broju objavljenih radova, Catttelov upitnik 16PF je najviše korišteni instrument za ekspolaraciju 'normalne' ličnosti. Pored odlike da instrument ima potvrđenu kros-kulturnu validnost, te da je standardiziran na velikom broju ispitanika, instrument su od samih početaka pratile i kontroverze o problematičnoj faktorskoj strukturi i to naročito kada je riječ o faktorima drugog reda. Iskazani ambigvitet među radovima koji su tretirali inventar 16PF, doveo je do problema ovog rada koji se može sažeti na pitanje egzistencije opštih faktora inventara ličnosti 16PF, peto izdanje. Glavni cilj ispitivanja jeste provjeriti koliko je faktorska struktura drugog reda kongruentna sa Cattellovim pretpostavkama. Ispitivanje je provedeno na uzorku studenata iz Tuzle i Sarajeva (N = 512, prosječne starosti M = 21.74, SD = 3.72). Inventar je pokazao relativno skromne metrijske osobine u domenu primarnih faktora. Koeficijenti pouzdanosti imali su raspon između α = .47 i α = .73. Od svih supskala, jedino faktori H i Q2 imaju zadovoljavajuću pouzdanost. U ispitivanju strukture drugog reda ekstrahirana su ukupno 4 faktora uz promax soluciju koji zajedno objašnjavaju oko 54% varijanse. Prvi faktor koji objašnjava oko 20% varijanse mogao bi se identifikovati kao Introverzija. Drugi faktor koji objašnjava oko 13% varijanse uslovno odgovara faktoru Samokontrola. Treći faktor objašnjava oko 11% varijanse i može se uslovno odrediti kao Blaga narav. Četvrti faktor objašnjava oko 10% varijanse i najsličniji je Cattellovom faktoru Nezavisnost. Cattellov peti faktor Anksioznost nije potvrđen. Može se konstatovati da instrument u cjelini ima loše mjerne osobine te da nije u cjelini potvrđena faktorska struktura koju su pretpostavili autori inventara.
