Table 1. Classification of statements in Q according to interpretative power.
Stability (variability, SE of z-score) | |||
---|---|---|---|
High | Low | ||
Salience (magnitude of z-score) | High | Highest interpretative power, very reliable | Meaningful within the factor but its relative position is fuzzy |
Low | Reliable but not particularly meaningful to interpret the factor | Lowest interpretative power, less reliable (although its instability and disengagement might have a relevant conceptual explanation) |
