What is a good CFI?
Perhaps the most important quality of a good flight instructor is their commitment to your goals with learning to fly. Your CFI should always be focused on delivering on your desired outcomes as an aspiring pilot and helping you achieve your goals.
What should I wear to a CFI interview?
Slacks, button-down, and tie should work for a CFI interview. Wear the full suit to airline interviews (even if it’s hot out). Slacks, button-down, and tie should work for a CFI interview.
What should The RMSEA be for a fitting adjusted model?
On the other hand, several modification indices are suggested that seem to make sense (i.e., let several error terms of similar items correlate), after which I do get a good fitting adjusted model. This is indicated by a CFI and TLI of .95, and an RMSEA of .05.
Is there controversy about the use of fit indices?
There is considerable controversy about fit indices. Some researchers do not believe that fit indices add anything to the analysis (e.g., Barrett, 2007) and only the chi square should be interpreted. The worry is that fit indices allow researchers to claim that a miss-specified model is not a bad model.
Do you get a good fitting model in EFA?
However, when I test the model that I identified in EFA (sample 1) using CFA (sample 2), I get a poor fitting model (low CFI & TLI, high RMSEA). On the other hand, several modification indices are suggested that seem to make sense (i.e., let several error terms of similar items correlate), after which I do get a good fitting adjusted model.
Why do we need a fit index for structural model?
Also a good-fitting measurement model is required before interpreting the causal paths of the structural model. The major reason for computing a fit index is that the chi square is statistically significant, but the reseacher still wants to claim that the model is a “good fitting” model.
