Correlation of A-18 - Early experimental association test in Netherlandic with other mental ability tests

Association subtest of Long Test For Genius (Netherlandic)	2	1.00
A-15 - Early experimental association test in Netherlandic, 32 items	3	0.94

Weighted average of correlations: 0.710 (N = 25, weighted sum = 18)

Estimated g factor loading: 0.84

Ranking in above table is based on the unrounded correlations. All available data is present in this table, no tests are left out except for those with less than 2 score pairs. All known pairs are used, including possible floor/ceiling scores or outliers.

Compound correlation of A-18 - Early experimental association test in Netherlandic with other mental ability tests

Test name	n	r
Compound variable of all other tests with norms	22	.69

Weighted average of correlations: 0.693 (N = 22, weighted sum = 15.24)

Because there are not enough other tests with trustworthy norms in the regular table with correlations above to norm the test in the usual way, the correlation with the compound variable comprising all known other normed scores has been computed, and these tests are used for norming. Do notice that this includes tests having only one pair with the object test, which therefore do not show up in regular table of correlations (because multiple pairs are needed to compute a correlation, obviously).

Estimated g factor loadings for restricted ranges

In parentheses the number of score pairs on which that estimated g factor loading is based. The goal of this is to verify the hypothesis that g becomes less important, accounts for a smaller proportion of the variance, at higher I.Q. levels. The mere fact of restricting the range like this also depresses the g loading compared to computing it over the test's full range, so it would be normal for these values to be lower than the test's full-range g loading.
