摘要: 1. When a battery of intelligence tests is administered to set persons it common practice among psychologists “explain” the scores obtained in terms number “factors.” Thus if we suppose that there are altogether t and xi, denotes score any one person ith test, then assumed thatwhere f, g, …, h represent person's measures or more general group factors, Si, specific ability test. It further for given supposed infinite population all otherwise, distributed normally independently they standardised, i.e. their standard deviations unity.
