Notes: Three principal components had Eigenvalues greater than 1. Component 1 had an Eigenvalue of 3.76, accounting for 34.2% of the variance in the data. Component 2 had an Eigenvalue of 2.25, accounting for 20.4% of the variance in the data. Component 3 had an Eigenvalue of 1.48, accounting for 13.4% of variance in the data. Cumulative percent variance accounted for was 68%.
