“…It measures psychometric g (Ree & Earles, 1991a) and factors found to be valid for predicting a variety of criteria (Earles & Ree, 1992b;Ree & Earles, 1991b;Ree, Earles, & Teachout, 1992).…”

“…An unrotated principal components analysis (Hotelling, 1933a(Hotelling, , 1933b was conducted to estimate g loadings (Jensen, 1980;Ree & Earles, 1991a) of all the tests. To determine if the first component were still g as in previous studies (Ree & Earles, 1991a), coefficients of congruence (Burt, 1948) were computed between the loadings for the cognitive tests estimated in the presence o.' the psychomotor tests and the loadings for the cognitive tests estimated without the psychomotor tests in a different sample.…”

“…Several studies have shown both paper-and-pencil multiple-aptitude batteries and batteries of ECTs administered by computer to be substantially saturated with a common factor, psychometric g. For example, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) has been shown to be heavily g saturated (Ree & Earles, 1991a) as have other similar tests (Jensen, 1980;Earles & Ree, 1992a). Kranzler and Jensen (1991) have shown that a large battery of ECTs predicts scores on Raven's (1966) Advanced Progressive Matrices, a test frequently acknowledged as a good marker of g (Jensen, 1987;Kranzler & Jensen, 1991;Neubauer, 1991).…”

“…Multiple-aptitude batteries, cognitive measures, are frequently factored and among the factors reported are psychometric g, verbal, quantitative, spatial, perceptual speed, and technical information (Jensen, 1980;Kass, Mitchell, Grafton & Wing, 1983;Ree & Earles, 1991a;Skinner & Ree, 1987). Factor analyses of computer administered elementary cognitive tasks (ECTs) showed factors for psychometric g, working memory, reasoning, and reaction time (Carroll, 1991;Kranzler & Jensen, 1991;Kyllonen & Christal, 1990).…”

MALCOLM JAMES ABSTRACT (Ma~xmum 200 words)A paper-and-pencil multiple-aptitude test battery and a computer-based psychomotor test battery were administered to a sample of 354 Air Force recruits. The tests of the multiple-aptitude battery were used to estimate psychometric g and to predict the psychomotor tests. The multiple correlation of the multiple-aptitude tests and each psychomotor test as a criterion was .50, corrected for range restriction.The average correlation of the psychomotor tests and psychometric g, corrected for range restriction and unreliability, was .73. The multiple-aptitude tests and the psychomotor tests were correlated and subjected to a principal components analysis. The average g saturations of the psychomotor and multiple-aptitude tests were .76 and .87, respectively.Confirmatory factor analyses disclosed hierarchical general cognitive and general psychomotor factors, two lower order multiple-aptitude test factors and three lower order psychomotor test factors. iii PREFACE This research and development was accomplished under work unit 77191845 which is dedicated to the study of selection and classification of Air Force Pilots. The authors thank Laurie C. Walters, Melody Darby, and Rick Siem for help in planning the data collection and in statistical analyses. We thank James Earles and Major David Perry for reading drafts and 1Lt Laura Kreitler for producing the figure of the structural model.Comments from Joseph Weeks on the correction for range restriction which helped clarify our thinking were appreciated. Professor Charles Lance, University of Georgia, is thanked for his helpful comments on statistical tests appropriate for the structural models. A special debt of gratitude is owed William C. Tirre for his generosity of time in developing the structural model. A paper-and-pencil multiple-aptitude test battery and a computer based psychomotor test battery were administered to a sample of 354 Air Force recruits. The tests of the multiple-aptitude battery were used to estimate psychometric g and to predict the psychomotor tests. Cognitive multiple-aptitu...

“…0 0 Carretta, 1992;Ree & Earles, 1991a show that all cognitive tests measure psychometric g to some degree regardless of the means of measurement and the outward appearance of the test. For example, Ree and Carretta (1992) found that information processing tests and even psychomotor tests, which are not frequently thought of as being measures of g, were about as highly g saturated as ordinary paper-and-pencil tests, despite the great dissimilarity of appearance and mode of administration (printed booklets, pencils, and answer sheets versus computer terminals, control sticks, and keypads).…”
