This study applied classical measurement theory to investigate the measurement characteristics of both parts of the Finding Embedded Figures Test (FEFT), when the test is administered in either a "no guessing" supply format or a multiple-choice selection format, and when the FEFT is administered to either undergraduate college students or to middle-school students. Coefficient alpha for the FEFT ranged between 0.81 and 0.90 across samples and administration formats. Items generally had desirable psychometric characteristics across studies.
