Summary/Abstract: The new reformulation of McDonald’s (McDonald, 1969) method of factor analysis of a set of nominal variables has been suggested. The aim of this reformulation, derived in the same direction as the first two reformulations of method (Momirović, 1972; 1988), is to reveal what is the real meaning of latent structures obtained by this method, which problems arise when these structures undergo interpretation, and to clearly define an algorithm suitable for implementation in any procedural language, or meta-language for data analvsis. McDonald’s method is more similar toclassic factor modei than all other methods for finding latent dimensions in a set of nonnumerical data, have been suggested so far.
