A Comparison of Structure-of-Intellect Factors with the Florida State-Wide Twelfth Grade Test in Predicting Physics Achievement

Abstract

Selected structure-of-intellect (SI) factor measures were compared with the subtests of the Florida State-Wide Twelfth Grade Test (FSWTGT) in predicting physics achievement. Multiple correlation coefficients were approximately the same for both sets of predictors but increased significantly when both sets were used together to predict physics achievement.
