Abstract
This paper reviews the statistical issues in factor analyzing ipsative meas ures and then illustrates the issue using ipsative data from Kolb's revised Learning Style Inventory (LSI-1985) and Dunlap & Cronwell's (1994) recomme nded procedures. The statistical findings underscore the problem of determi ning the valid underlying factor structure of ipsative measures.
