Exercise

Conducting a multidimensional EFA

Now that you've examined the eigenvalues and scree plot to find the data-driven recommended number of factors, you can get down to actually running the multidimensional EFA. In Chapter 1, you ran a unidimensional EFA by using the fa() function. To run a multidimensional EFA, you'll want to use the nfactors argument to specify the number of factors desired.

As in the previous exercises, you'll want to be sure to run this analysis on the bfi_EFA dataset you created earlier.
