Note. Bolded rows are the best-fitting models and were considered interpretable. None of the models for Surgency/Openness were considered to be acceptable. df = degrees of freedom; RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation; CFI = comparative fit index; SRMR = standardized root mean residual; BIC = Bayesian information criterion; AIC = Akaike information criterion.
