Internal Construct Validity of a College Admissions Test across Handicapped and Nonhandicapped Groups.

Rock, Donald A.; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n1 p193-205 Spr 1987

Results showed the two common-factor model to provide a reasonable fit in all populations with the mathematical factor fitting somewhat better than the verbal. (Author/LMO)
