The second-order factors structure of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) was cross-validated on a large sample (N = 17,381) of normal males and females. Subjects were sampled across a broad range of ages, socioeconomic levels, education, geographic location, and ethnicity. The purposes of this investigation were (1) to provide a precise definition of 16PF second-order factor structure, (2) to shed additional light on the nature of two second-order factors that have been previously… Expand

TLDR
In this article, the author deals only with nonaptitude traits and with measurement only by means of questionnaire items, finding that Cattell and Eysenck claimed two very different sets of factors and piled evidence on evidence in attempts to gain support. Expand
