Recently, the AFOQT was revised to reduce administrative burden and test-taker fatigue. However, the new version, the AFOQT Form S, was implemented without explicitly examining the latent structure of the exam. The current study examined the factor structure of Form S as well as its measurement equivalence across race- and sex-based groups. Results indicated that a bifactor model with a general intelligence factor and five content-specific factors fit the best. The measurement equivalence of the AFOQT across gender and racial/ethnic groups was also supported. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: equations & formulas research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
