Tests by Jason Betts (aggregate) statistics

Paul Cooijmans

Introduction

These are statistics based on the scores on the tests by Jason Betts (aggregate) as reported by test candidates of I.Q. Tests for the High Range. Please keep the following in mind: As a result of candidates' tendency to report their higher scores while withholding lower ones, there may be an upward bias in the reported scores, while the possible correlation with other variables is reduced as a result of the restriction of range inherent to this incomplete reporting. Also, this report deals with a compound variable, wherein all the tests of a given author are combined. Such a compound variable, too, has reduced potential to correlate with any other variable because of the imperfect intercorrelations of its constituents.

Weighted average of correlations: 0.071 (N = 301, weighted sum = 21.51)

Conservatively estimated minimum g loading: 0.27

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 4 score pairs. All known pairs are used, including possible floor/ceiling scores or outliers.

Estimated loadings of Tests by Jason Betts (aggregate) on particular item types

These are estimated g factor loadings, but against homogeneous tests (containing only particular item types) as opposed to non-compound heterogeneous tests. Although tending to surprise the lay person, it is not uncommon for tests to have high loadings on item types they do not actually contain themselves. Such loadings reflect the empirical fact that most tests for mental abilities measure primarily g, regardless of their contents; that the major part of test score variance is caused by g, and only a minor part by factors germane to particular item types. It is of key importance to understand that this is a fact of nature, a natural phenomenon, and not something that was built into the tests by the test constructors.

Estimated g factor loadings upward and downward of particular scores

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 both values to be lower than the test's full-range g loading.
