SUBSCALES Provides a method for determining the usefulness of creating subscales. Because the general and group/nuisance factors are uncorrelated in a bifactor model, inspection of the factor loadings on the general and group/nuisance factors is informative. If factor loadings are high on the general factor and low on the group/nuisance factors - makes little sense to create subscales. If factor loadings are high for both the general factor and the group/nuisance factors - subscale creation should be considered.
