Abstract
The underlying structure of the Test of Problem Solving was examined using factor analysis. At all six age levels ( N = 842 from 6 to 11 years) a one-factor solution emerged, suggesting the five subtests measure a single underlying construct. These data support the combination of subtests to form a composite score; however, subtest specificity was insufficient to allow the use of profile analysis procedures at any age level.Keywords
