Factor loadings and factor correlations are presented in a standardized form. All parameter estimates are significant at the .05 level. N = 28,824; GSC: general self-concept; RSC: realistic self-concept; ISC: investigative self-concept; ASC: artistic self-concept; SSC: social self-concept; ESC: enterprising self-concept; CSC: conventional self-concept.
