Internet Skills: Relationship with Internet Experience and Verbal Ability. Internet skills include operational and procedural, navigation and search, and content and source evaluation skills. This study has sought to examine the factorial structure of the Internet Skills Scale (ISS), and the relationship between self-reported Internet skills, Internet experience (frequency, and number and type of activities), and verbal ability, in a sample of college students. Participants completed the ISS, questionnaires about habitual Internet use, and the BAIRES Test. Data analyses relied on factorial analytic techniques for ordinal data, and generalized linear models. A three factors model for the ISS showed good fit. Operational and evaluation skills were associated with frequency of Internet use and number of activities. Navigation and search were associated with verbal ability.

Keywords : internet skills; digital literacy; verbal ability; assessment.
