A program to compute a response agreement matrix is described. Such a matrix may then be used as input into factor analytic programs of the user's choice in order to provide a pattern analysis of test results, symptom checklists, or any other dichotomously scored variables. The program currently prints the agreement matrix and punches cards which may be used as input for the two frequently available package factor analytic programs. Such information should be valuable to persons involved in either basic or applied research.
