  1. IIC the correlation between the item scores and their dimension score (corrected for overlap). The numbers shown are the lowest and highest Pearson’s correlation coefficients. IDV the correlation between the item scores for a given dimension and the other dimension scores. The numbers shown are the lowest and highest Pearson’s correlation coefficients. NA not applicable.
