The highest absolute correlation per row is presented in boldfaced italic. Boxes highlight which IPQ factor alignment corresponds most closely to each measure. For example, the IPQ rotation best corresponding to the IIP DOM and LOV factors is the "Tellegen" rotation. 1NCS data were collected four months prior to the IPQ data (see Method).
