Abstract

Responses from high school sophomores to the Eliot-Price and the Guilford-Zimmerman tests of spatial orientation and visualization were evaluated in terms of the multitrait-multimethod matrix technique. The Eliot-Price tests were found to meet all criteria for convergent and discriminant validity. However, the Guilford-Zimmerman tests did not meet one of the criteria for discriminant validity. The Eliot-Price tests appeared to be more nearly precise measures of spatial orientation and visualization.
