Table A.16. Demographic Distributions of EQ-i 2.0 Exploratory and Confirmatory Normative Subsamples

The following table summarizes the demographic characteristics of the subsamples of the EQ-i 2.0 normative sample, created for performing exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Ideally, the two samples should show similar demographic characteristics, as found in the EQ-i 2.0 exploratory and confirmatory samples.
