Cattell's scree indicated two-factor solution. The two factors were subjected to varimax rotation. The two rotated factors were named as Verbal Intelligence and Performance Intelligence. The two factors, together, explained 62 percent of variance. Which one of the following method of factor extraction is likely to have been employed in the present work?
