Evidence for an Oblique Social Intelligence Factor Established with a Likert-Based Testing Procedure.

Legree, Peter J.

Intelligence, v21 n3 p247-66 Nov-Dec 1995

To explore theoretical issues inspired by the Likert response format, 2 social insight scales were developed and administered to 391 Air Force recruits. Results demonstrate the applicability of the probabilistic response format to measure differences in nontraditional knowledge domains and the existence of a factor that may be interpreted as social insight.
