Abstract
Confirmatory factor analysis of the Sternberg Triarchic Abilities Test (Level H) in a spanish sample: Preliminary results. This study compares different theoretical models on the underlying structure of the STAT (Stenberg Triarchic Abilities Test), level H, by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis techniques. This comparison of different models is made by applying a strategy of Hierarchical Confirmatory Factor Analysis (HCFA) and a strategy of comparison of nested models, with the acceptance of some theories, such as the unidimensional concept of intelligence, the traditional concept of Factor, and the Triarchic Model. The results obtained reveal that the model that best meets empirical data is the one based upon a triarchic concept of intelligence. These results are analised with reference to the conceptual validation of the TriarchicTheory.
