I am analyzing a survey dataset where respondents are asked to rate the importance of 20+ statements for factor analysis that will be used for segmentations. I just found that all ratings are highly correlated with all else, examining the data I found respondents seem to be pretty much rating everything either all important or all not important, therefore the factor solutions I got was very crappy and can not go on for segmentations, which is the key objective of the study.
Is there anything I can do to the data to make up the correlation problem, The ratings is on a 5 point scale. Please help!
