Dear Dr. Muthen, A multilevel CFA was run to test the property of a scale. The range of the ICCs for the items are between .10 and .20. However, the variance of the between-level latent variable is not statistically significant, does it mean that it is not necessary to run a MCFA? BTW, do you have any recommendations about how to compute the ICCs for categorical items? Thank you very much! John |

Answer to 1st paragraph: If the between-level model fits well, the answer is in principle yes. Answer to 2nd paragraph: Use the same formula, where the within-level variance is 1 for probit and pi-square divided by 3 for logit. |

I should add that my answer to 1 assumes that you have enough between-level observations. |
