Open access reasoning tests for online assessments can be an important contribution to intelligence research. Kyllonen et al. (2019) reported promising first results for their online figural matrix (FM) but did not observe unidimensionality of the test items. With the current study, the structure of the FM test was further examined in a sample of 263 participants. Confirmatory factor analyses corroborated previous findings that the test is not unidimensional since the (essentially) tau-equivalent measurement model did not describe the data as well as a bifactor model. When a latent variable depicting an item-position effect (IPE) was added to the tau-equivalent measurement model for the reasoning latent variable, a better data description was obtained. Thus, similar to established reasoning tests such as Raven’s APM or Cattell’s CFT, the FM test is a particularly good and unidimensional measure of reasoning ability when the method effect related to the IPE is controlled for.
