Abstract
Factor analyses of the shortened forms of Belts' 1909 Questionnaire Upon Mental Imagery (QMI) developed by Sheehan (1967) revealed a general factor before rotation, specific factors after orthogonal and oblique rotations and a general factor after a second‐order analysis of oblique factor pattern inter‐correlations. The nature of these factors was discussed and it was suggested that the large general factor may represent demand characteristics while a smaller, bi‐polar second factor represents relationships between imagery modalities.Keywords
