Round 3: Tossup 1

In this technique, Velicer’s MAP test is encouraged over the deprecated Little–Jiffy method. One step of this technique involves using oblimin or promax for oblique rotation. When using this method, the .40–.30–.20 rule is often used for item retention. (-5[1])This statistical method was used to derive the Inglehart–Welzel Cultural Map. This method, which has confirmatory and exploratory forms, exports a set (-5[1])of loadings. This method (-5[1])is distinguished from principal component analysis (-5[2])by focusing on common variance between inputs. The Big Five personality traits (10[1])were derived (10[1])via this method, (10[1])which Charles Spearman introduced to posit a measure of general (10[1])intelligence called “g.” (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this statistical method used to estimate latent variables from data, (0[1])often applied (10[1])to large surveys in social science.
