a

For all but the standard allocation, allocate items to scales depending on which factor has the maximum absolute loading, dropping items (indicated by a dash ‘–’) if the maximum absolute loading does not exceed the cutoff or if two of more absolute loadings exceed the cutoff. The loading for the factor with the highest maximum absolute value is in boldface.
