Abstract
IN psychology, the meaning of tests of intelligence and mental abilities has been clarified by factorial analyses of the correlation coefficients between the different tests1. In industrial physics there are occasions when empirical tests are employed the exact meaning of which is not fully understood, and where the interrelationships between the tests could profitably be studied by similar means. Subjective judgments of quality as assessed by experts and others may be included. In view of the elusive nature of such subjective judgments in cheese-grading, it has been thought desirable to develop a number of related mechanical measurements.
