Exploratory Factor Analyses of the French WISC-V (WISC-V^FR) for Five Age Groups: Analyses Based on the Standardization Sample.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the factor structure of the French Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition with five standardization sample age groups (6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-16 years) using hierarchical exploratory factor analysis followed by Schmid-Leiman procedure. The primary research questions included (a) how many French Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition factors should be extracted and retained in each age subgroup, (b) how are subtests associated with the latent factors, (c) was there evidence for the publisher's claim of five first-order factors and separate Visual Spatial and Fluid Reasoning factors, (d) what proportion of variance was due to general intelligence versus the first-order group ability factors following a Schmid-Leiman procedure, and (
