The several problems which are included under the study of factorial similarity are discussed, and the available analytical techniques for rotation to congruence are classified. A new method for the transformation of two or more factor matrices to achieve maximum similarity between them is proposed. The possibility of postulating the same factor structure in different populations and comparing the means, variances, and intercorrelations of factor scores from the different populations is also discussed.
