Abstract	Despite the fact that the digital administration format of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V) was published in 2016, no research to date has examined its factor structure using all 10 of the primary subtests to measure intellectual ability. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to use exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to examine the internal structure of the digital administration format of the WISC-V. Results of this study indicated that the theoretical and scoring structure of the WISC-V fit the data well. In addition, consistent with prior research on the standard administration format of the WISC-V, results revealed that the digital administration format is an excellent measure of general cognitive ability or psychometric g. The general factor accounted for approximately 77% of the common factor variance on the WISC-V. The first-order factors, which reflect the composite scores, however, had insufficient unique, reliable variance to warrant clinical interpretation. Results of our study suggest that the structure of the digital administration format of the WISC-V is similar to the standard format and that both are excellent measures of psychometric g, but little else. Implications of these results for practice are discussed. (As Provided).
