TL;DR

A method is presented for securing a hierarchical factor solution which achieves simple structure at each hierarchical level without rotation or even preliminary arbitrary orthogonal or oblique solutions.

Abstract

A method is presented for securing a hierarchical factor solution which achieves simple structure at each hierarchical level without rotation or even preliminary arbitrary orthogonal or oblique solutions. The method is based upon the assumption that if overlap is removed from clusters the remaining specifics will achieve simple structure automatically. The problem presented earlier by Schmid and Leiman, using oblique simple structural rotation as a basis, is reworked by this new approach.
