Abstract
Having determined the number of factors, and holding in his hands an unrotated factor matrix V0 with consistent communalities, the investigator stands at the most perilous phase of a factor analysis. However, excellent the work up to this point, the way in which the next step is carried out—that of finding the uniquely meaningful rotation—will decide whether a conclusion is drawn that is enlightening, or somewhat misleading, or positively absurd.
