Factor analysis is not a new method of data analysis. It has been used extensively as a data analytic technique for the better part of the 20th century (Spearman, 1904). Social scientists have used it extensively for examining patterns of interrelationships, data reduction, instrument development, classification and description of data, data transformation, hypothesis testing, exploring relationships in new domains of interest, and mapping construct space (Rummel, 1970). Factor analysis provides a geometrical representation that allows for a visual portrayal of behavioral relationships, a very common research objective in agricultural education.
