The present paper has described a large-scale factor analysis study of performance in the relatively unexplored aptitude area of psychomotor skill. A large number of apparatus and printed psychomotor tests vere selected or specifically designed to measure certain ability categories hypothesized to exist from the results of previous research in this area. After extensive pretesting, the tests vere assembled into a battery and administered to 400 subjects. The correlations among scores on these tests were then sub¬jected to a Thurstone centroid factor analysis.
