Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the validity and reliability of the general Thinking Styles Inventory (TSI) by analyzing the responses made to it by 419 students (214 male and 205 female). The confirmatory analyses were used to compute the validity. The internal consistency was used to determine the TSI reliability. The Cronbach alpha values showed that TSI has a good reliability. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated a good fit to the intended latent structure of TSI at item and subscales levels. The results buttressed the notion that the TSI is a valid and reliable measurement instrument in determining college students' thinking styles.
