Abstract
Further investigations were made into the nature of the Basic Unit of Information Processing (BIP)—a measure claimed to have a close relationship with traditional measures of IQ. Previous research obtained high loadings of BIP on simple measures of both fluid and crystallized intelligence. This study sought to investigate more fully the nature of the BIP by factoring the measure with a more comprehensive set of tests covering a wide range of primary human abilities. The study failed to reproduce high loadings on fluid intelligence but did produce loadings on crystallized intelligence and memory. It is concluded that the BIP appears to have a close relationship to crystallized intelligence and memory alone and not with IQ as previously claimed. This finding is of little surprise in view of the nature of the BIP measure itself, although earlier results still need to be accounted for.
