- On the Factor Analysis dialog box, click RESULTS.

Click pattern graph.
The RESULTS tab is grayed-out/disabled until after the analysis is completed.Factor Analysis > Results > Pattern Graph
The Factor Analysis Pattern Graph plots the final factor pattern values for up to twelve variables, two factors at a time. These factor pattern values are the coefficients in the linear combination of factors that comprise each variable. When the Analysis Type is Principal Components, these pattern values are referred to as factor loadings. When the Matrix Type is Correlation, the values of these coefficients are standardized to be between -1 and 1 (if Covariance, they are not). Unless an oblique rotation has been performed, these values also represent the factor structure (i.e., the correlation between a factor and a variable).
The following options are available:-

- Available — A list of all variables that were input to the Factor analysis.
- Selected — A list of variables (up to 12) that are displayed on the Factor Patterns graph.
-
Factors
- Available — A list of all variables that were input to the Factor analysis.
- Selected — The selected two factors that are displayed on the Factor Patterns graph.
