Internal Analysis of Personal Inventory for the Differential Officer Battery

Abstract

The present Research Memorandum describes the internal analysis of DI-B for the purpose of developing psychologically homogenous scales. The specific objectives of the study were (1) to determine the number of relatively independent factors which can be reliably obtained from exclusive sets of items in the DI-B; (2) to relate such factor scales to each other and to a priori content scales established during test construction, in particular, to determine to what extent such factors correspond to the major hypothesized dimensions of combat, administrative, and technical requirements; and (3) to select the scales for scoring and validation in subsequent research.
