On a sample of 159 entities, aged from 13 to 14 years, in order to determine measure characteristics about estimating the latent dimensions ,16 motoric tests are applied. The normality of the result distribution is checked by the Kolmogorov- Smirnov's approach. There are calculated cofficients of correlation and determination. In order to determine the validity of the tests, Hotelling's method of main components is applied. A number of main significant components is defined by Kaiser- Guttman's criteria by which are considered those main components which have a value equal or more than 1.00. In order to determine the reliability of the tests the coefficients of Spearman-Brown are calculated (on the base of the average coefficient test particles determination )SB1; (on the base of average correlation of the particles ) SB2; and Cronbach-Alpha coefficient (on the base of projection of the particles of the first main components of the particles intercorrelation). The analysed motoric tests presented satisfactory measure characteristics for measuring and existance of the treated motoric latent dimensions in researching .
