Factor Structure of the Gesell School Readiness Screening Test

Abstract

An exploratory, principal axis factor analysis was conducted of the Gesell School Readiness Screening Test (GSRT). Support was found for a one-factor solution, with two highly correlated clusters of tasks subsumed. Findings are discussed with reference to the content of the GSRT, existing construct-related evidence on the test, and applications that can be justified based on the findings.
