They report that exploratory factor analysis, with oblique rotation, revealed four theoretically meaningful dimensions: Learning Orientation, Creative Problem Solving, Mental Focus, and Cognitive Integrity. They assert that the four factors demonstrated a satisfactory level of stability across study samples and that scales derived from these four factors correlated with known measures of student motivation and academic achievement.
