Abstract | It is often not trivial to interpret total scores from test batteries of cognitive ability, as the underlying set of items or subscales is typically not unidimensional. Additionally, in such cases, the reliability is not accurately estimated by coefficient alpha. The rarely addressed problem and possible solutions via bifactor analysis are presented without mathematical details. Applying this technique, factor structure and model-based reliability of the cognitive ability part of the Gifted Identification Kit 4-6 (GIK 4-6), a newly developed test battery to identify gifted students in the United Arab Emirates, were evaluated using confirmatory bifactor analyses. Results revealed that the total score is reliable (coefficient omega = .89) and primarily measures a general intelligence factor (g). The total score should best be interpreted as a blend of g, a reading factor, and a mathematics and science factor. (Orig.). |
