SI = Similarities; VC = Vocabulary; BD = Block Design; VP = Visual Puzzles; MR = Matrix Reasoning; FW = Figure Weights; DS = Digit Span; PS = Picture Span; CD = Coding; and SS = Symbol Search. F1, Verbal Comprehension; F2, Visual Spatial; F3, Fluid Reasoning; F4, Working Memory; and F5, Processing Speed. P, Pattern Coefficient (factor loading); S, Structure Coefficient (factor correlation); and h², Communality (after extraction). General structure coefficients (S_g) are based on the factor coefficients for the first unrotated factor (g-factor loadings) and eigenvalues. Salient factor loadings (≥ 0.30) are indicated in bold numbers.
