MECHANICAL APTITUDE III ANALYSIS OF GROUP TESTS

Abstract

This report describes and summarizes the findings in the factor analysis of thirty-two group tests of mechanical aptitude. The object of the study was to isolate, if possible, some of the components of ability in the complex known as mechanical aptitude. The complete study includes several sections, namely, the construction, administration, and analysis of a set of group tests and a set of individual tests; the analysis of a battery of tests composed of both group test/ and individual tests; and the comparison of high and low groups in mechanical interest and experience.
