Influences of factor rotation on asymptotic standard errors are investigated using a numerical exploration method. The results are (a) CF-varimax, CF-quartimax, CF-equamax, and CF-parsimax produced similar asymptotic standard errors when the factor loading matrix is an inde- pendent cluster solution and (b) the four rotation methods produced different asymptotic standard errors when the factor loading matrix has a more complex structure. In addition, properties of the CF family are explored with a full range of K, values.
