Hi Alex,

1. There are 2 different imputation methods: Fully conditional specification (which uses MCMC) and Monotone.  See http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/spssstat/v20r0m0/topic/com.ibm.spss.statistics.help/idh_idd_mi_method.htm for details.

2. I'm afraid Factor analysis does not currently support pooling of multiple imputation data: See http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/spssstat/v20r0m0/topic/com.ibm.spss.statistics.help/mi_analysis.htm for a list of procedures that do.  Procedures that do support pooling automatically generate pooled output when run on multiply imputed datasets.
