Groups of vertical cells on a gray background represent one retained latent factor; (ii) Communalities (Com.) and fsw values extracted from the CFA, with the average results presented in terms of a Likert (LK) scale, and the corresponding profile of functionality (PF).
*Extraction Method: Principal component analysis.
Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser normalization.
Rotation converged in seven iterations.
**Qualitative classification adopted from Marôco20.
***Labeled according to the mean LK scale score for each code, after correspondence with the ICF scale of profiles was confirmed.
