Factor Analysis of Ipsative Measures.
Dunlap, William P.; Cornwell, John M.
Multivariate Behavioral Research, v29 n1 p115-26 1994
The fundamental problems that ipsative measures impose for factor analysis are shown analytically. Normative and ipsative correlation matrices are used to show that the factor pattern induced by ipsativity will overwhelm any factor structure seen with normative factor analysis, making factor analysis not interpretable.
