Abstract

The structure of the Group Embedded-figures Test was examined. Data from 173 females and 93 males were subjected to Johnson's complete-linkage cluster analysis and principal components analysis. The results showed the importance of simple form type especially Form E, the cube, and of item position. Recommendations for the future study of the structure of embedded-figures tests were presented.
