Title: AN AID IN CALCULATING Q-SORT FACTOR-ARRAYS.
Authors: Creaser, James W.

Subjects: Psychometrics, Factor analysis, Statistical correlation, Persons, Nature, Psychology
Abstract: The article discusses Q-techniques and factor-arrays. In Q-teclrnique, when several person-arrays have been correlated and factored, it is often desirable to obtain a factor-array, i.e. an arrangement of items or statements which best typifies the factor.' These items or statements are arranged in order of their contribution to the factor loading, and from these we get an idea of the nature of the factor. Also, variance analysis is done from the factor-array. This factor-array will, naturally, be most like the person-array which has the greatest loading on the factor. It will be less like the one with the next highest loading and so on for as many persons as are to be included in the calculations.
