title: A FACTOR ANALYSIS OF SELECTED MARKERS FOR OBJECTIVE PERSONALITY FACTORS.
abstract: A large scale (60 variables, 569 subjects), attempted replication of Cattell's factors U.I. 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 32 is reported, plus an evaluation of his universal index series. Factoring was carried out on marker variables, with both orthogonal and oblique rotation, at both primary and sec- ondary factor levels. Seven factors were identifiable a t the primary level and four at the secondary level. At neither level were the factors other than partly similar, and then only in certain cases, to Cattell's factors. An examination of Cattell's data both in general and in a specific case and a discussion of necessary criteria to assess replication show why this might occur. Contrary to prior kpectation what actually emerged from this group of carefully selected Cattell markers were factors which more closely resembled those of Eysenck, especially at the second order level.
