Scores on the 16PF can be simplified to fewer factors by a technique called
A) correlation.
B) first-order factor analysis.
C) second-order factor analysis.
D) MAVA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Second-order factor analysis is the technique that simplifies the scores derived from the 16PF to fewer factors. This technique involves grouping the primary factors (first-order factors) based on their correlations to derive more general and comprehensive second-order factors.
