A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE STRUCTURES OF DIVERGENT PRODUCTION ABILITIES OF CHILDREN AT TWO LEVELS OF INTELLECTUAL
Abstract:
Twelve divergent production tests were administered to 46 adolescents whose average WISC full scale IQ was 69.5 and t o a similar group of 48 adolescents whose average WISC full scale IQ was 104.6. Six divergent production factors were extracted in each group and rotated t o a target derived from Guilford's Structure of Intellect Model. In general the subnormal group produced a better fit to the hypothesized structure than the normal group, although the results from the normal group were not considered to be unsupportive of Guilford's theory.
