Abstract
A summary and interpretation of the recent literature on the indeterminacy of factor scores is given in simple terms. A good index of factor score determinacy is the squared multiple correlation of the factor with the observed variables.

In the proposed methods, the single best test for each common factor is the starting point and the methods can be extended in part to the suppression of more than one factor.
