The current study aimed to identify measurement equivalence at latent structure level of Cattell's Culture Fair Intelligence Test among male and female students at Qassim University in the city of Buraydah through Testing four main models: Configural Invariance, Metric Invariance, Scalar Invariance and Error variance invariance using statistical method Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The study also aimed to find out whether or not there are differences in the latent variables between male and female students in the test after verifying the equivalence of its measurement, utilizing Latent Mean Constructs statistical method. The descriptive-comparative approach was adopted; Cattell's Culture-Fair Intelligence Test (Scale 3) Form A, was administered to a sample of (681) male and female students, selected by randomization. The study results showed that there was a complete measurement equivalence through verifying its four models, and overall matching of latent structure between male and female students at Qassim University, and there were no differences between the sexes in the latent traits of intelligence. There are no differences between the sexes in the latent traits of intelligence Based on the results of the study, a set of recommendations were presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
