Note. EFA = exploratory factor analysis. APM = achievement-relevant personality measure. Factor loadings printed in bold indicate the item's highest loading. Item numbers printed in bold indicate that the item did not load highest on the expected factor, and were therefore excluded from the final scale. CCC stands for the column congruence coefficient (Tucker, 1951) which calculates the agreement between the columns in Tables 5 and 6. The inverse factor loadings for items 20 and 24 from Table 5 were used because they are reverse coded items, and all items were forward coded for the current analysis.
