Factor analysis was applied to the scores of 164 children in the 6–8‐year age range on 111 objective‐test variables. A simple‐structure solution was obtained for 16 factors, and factor scores were correlated with 49 additional variables. The inclusion of marker variables patterned after variables in earlier batteries permits a comparison of present factors with factors found in a number of studies for older children and adults. Every factor appears to correspond to a dimension known from earlier work. Eleven or twelve factors can be identified with considerable confidence. In the remaining factors, the correspondence to the expected loading pattern is somewhat less satisfactory
