Note. ECV (S&E) = explained common variance computing the strength of a specific factor relative to all explained variance of all items, even those not loading on the specific factor of interest (S&E = Stucky & Edelen, 2015); ECV (New) = explained common variance computing the strength of a specific factor relative to all explained variance only of the items loading on that specific factor; Omega = estimate of internal reliability; OmegaH = omega hierarchical, the variance attributable to individual differences on the general factor; Relative omega = the variance attributed to the general factor; H = construct reliability; Big E = Big Everything; GFPP = General Factor of Pathological Personality comprising paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive PD (personality), antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic; GFP = General Factor of Personality comprising agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism and openness; p = General Factor of Psychopathology comprising obsessive-compulsive BSI, anxiety, depression, phobia, alcohol, drugs, and tobacco smoking; CF = Cognitive Functioning factor comprising ACT English, ACT Mathematics, WMQ (working memory), vocabulary, similarities, block design, and CFQ; PD = personality disorder; BSI = Brief Symptoms Inventory; ACT = American College Test; WMQ = Working Memory Questionnaire; CFQ = Cognitive Failures Questionnaire.
