Can we use binary variables as factor indicators of a latent construct? I was told that factor indicators of a latent variable should be continuous variables (at least assessed by 5-point Likert scale) and normally distributed. I used three continuous variables and two binary variables to build a latent construct. But I was told this is not valid. |

Q1: Yes. It is valid. |
