• most test scores will cluster near the average.

• the test will yield consistent results when administered on different occasions.

• a person's test performance can be compared with that of a representative pretested group.

Factor analysis is a statistical procedure used to:

• derive IQ scores by comparing mental age with chronological age

• evaluate how accurately test items predict a criterion behavior.

• identify clusters of closely related test items.

• provide a quantitative estimate of heritability.
