Below is a question from my stats course; the bolded/underlined info is my answer. Is my answer appropriate and what are the step involved to preform the actions requested.

2. I want to develop a personality inventory based on items Q01 to Q50 (you may have more or less) in the data set. These are new items I developed. However, I am not sure how many constructs are measured nor how many items might measure each construct. I also don't know how well the items within a construct work to measure it. Identify the items and scales (groups of items measuring a single thing) I would use to build my inventory. Do a Principal Axis Factor analysis with varimax rotation. Be sure to sort by size and suppress small coefficients (27 total points).

A. What is the difference between an orthogonal and oblique rotation? (2 points)

Orthogonal refers to uncorrolated variables whereas oblique refers to correlated ones.

B.Initial Model Exploration

a.Ask for the initial, extracted and rotated solutions

b. Ask for and interpret the KMO statistic (2 points).

c. Ask for and interpret the scree plot (1 point).
