E.g., can you use MI with factor analysis?

If CORRELATIONS support MI pooling (I don't remember it), You can get the pooled estimated matrix and input it to FACTOR via syntax to obtain loadings (though not factor scores). Also to remark, MVA (Missing Value Analysis) procedure's EM method produces correct, unbiased estimates of correlations too. So, if you don't insist to have the complete imputed *dataset* and may do with just a correlation matrix, that is two ways to go.
