Abstract
The psychometric properties of the Job Descriptive Index (JDI; Smith, Kendall, & Hulin, 1969), supplemented by a pool of experimental items, was examined. Significant improvements in the measurement properties of the JDI scales were obtained. Results are discussed in the framework of the need for frequent updating of psychological measures and the unending process of test construction and validation

This method has yielded superior results in numerous trials with real and Monte Carlo data for positive manifold situations and has not been studied as thoroughly in the more general situation involving both positive and negative transformed factor loadings but appears to yield good results.
