What Intraclass Covariance Structures Can Symmetric Bernoulli Random Variables Have?

The covariance matrix of random variables $X_1,\dots ,X_n$ is said to have an intraclass covariance structure if the variances of all the $X_i$’s are the same and all the pairwise covariances of the $X_i$’s are the same. We provide a possibly surprising characterization of such covariance matrices in the case when the $X_i$’s are symmetric Bernoulli random variables.
