This investigation consists of several reanalyses of two correlation matrices comprising 21 structure-of-intellect (SOI) divergent production tests taken from the 1963 Report No. 29 of the University of Southern California Aptitudes Research Project. Application of updated exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic methodologies led to the conclusion that the results obtained could not be replicated. It appeared from the confirmatory factor analyses that a higher-order two-factor oblique model of semantic and symbolic contents furnished as adequate or nearly as adequate an explanation of the covariance among test variables as did more complex models involving several factors.
