    "Many researchers have assumed that different methods could be substituted to measure                   the same attributes in assessment. Various models have been developed to accommodate                   the amount of variance attributable to the methods but these models application in                   empirical research is rare. The present study applied one of those models to examine                   whether method effects were presents in synonym and antonym tests. Study participants                   were 3,469 applicants to graduate school. The instrument used was the Graduate Academic                   Potential Test (PAPS), which includes synonym and antonym questions to measure verbal                   abilities. Our analysis showed that measurement models that using correlated trait–correlated                   methods minus one, CT-C(M–1), that separated trait and method effect into distinct                   latent constructs yielded slightly better values for multiple goodness-of-fit indices                   than one factor model. However, either for the synonym or antonym items, the proportion                   of variance accounted for by the method is smaller than trait variance. The correlation                   between factor scores of both methods is high (r = 0.994). These findings confirm                   that synonym and antonym tests represent the same attribute so that both tests cannot                   be treated as two unique methods for measuring verbal ability."
