假设心理测量能力测试在7年的时间间隔内保留了等效的因素结构，在1984年和1991年作为西雅图纵向研究的一部分进行评估的984人（分为6个队列组：首次测试时的M年龄= 32，46，53，60，67和76）的样本中进行了检查。本研究以归纳推理、空间定向、知觉速度、数字能力、言语能力和言语回忆6项主要能力为指标，对20项心理测量学测验进行了最佳拟合测量模型估计。性别在变量水平上通过包括性别因素而被偏分。所有队列均显示随时间推移的弱阶乘不变性。在所有队列组中均可证明构型不变性。然而，除了最年轻和最老的组之外，所有组之间的弱阶乘不变性都可以接受。对不同时间和队列组的可接受解决方案的潜在平均值进行建模。
The hypothesis that psychometric ability tests retain equivalent factor structures across a 7-year interval was examined in a sample of 984 persons (disaggregated into 6 cohort groups: M ages at first test = 32, 46, 53, 60, 67, and 76), assessed in 1984 and 1991 as part of the Seattle Longitudinal Study. A best fitting measurement model was estimated for 20 psychometric tests marking the 6 primary abilities of Inductive Reasoning, Spatial Orientation, Perceptual Speed, Numeric Facility, Verbal Ability, and Verbal Recall. Gender was partialed out at the variable level by including a gender factor. Weak factorial invariance over time was demonstrated for all cohorts. Configural invariance could be demonstrated across all cohort groups. However, weak factorial invariance across groups could be accepted for all but the youngest and oldest groups. Latent means were modeled for the accepted solutions across time and cohort groups.
