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)
