- Title
THE B FACTOR SCALE OF THE 16 PF AS A MEASURE OF INTELLIGENCE IN PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS.

- Abstract
The article assesses the B factor scale of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF) as a measure of intelligence in psychiatric patients. The Standard Progressive Matrices, the Mill Hill Vocabulary Scale and the 16 PF were given to a sample of 105 male and 105 female psychiatric patients, to investigate the relationship between the B factor scale and general intelligence. The findings revealed that the B factor scale was a reasonably valid measure of general intelligence in the female sample, but in the male sample, the scale appeared to be a mixed measure of both verbal ability and general intelligence.
