Identical Rules Do Not Make Letter and Number Series Equivalent.

Quereshi, M. Y.; Seitz, Rainer

Intelligence, v17 n3 p399-405 Jul-Sep 1993

Letter series and number series tests of items based on identical rules were administered to 160 male and 160 female undergraduates to determine comparability by testing equality of means, variances, and validity coefficients. Results indicate that letter and number series tests are not equivalent. Number series tests are easier, probably because they are more familiar. (SLD)
