closeAnalytical thinking variable?
Posted by PoloKy on 25 Nov 2015 at 13:58 GMT
In the LIWC2015 manual, this paper is cited as the source for the analytical thinking variable. However, I don't find anything about an analytical thinking variable in this paper. Is this a miscitation? Anyone have the correct citation for the analytical thinking variable?

LIWC2015's analytical thinking is based on the CDI. The LIWC variable has been normalized so that the mean is 50 and scores range from 0 to 100. However, CDI and analytical thinking should correlate .99 with each other.
