E In the Analysis Properties dialog box, click the Output tab.
E Select Squared multiple correlations (a check mark appears next to it).
E Close the dialog box.
The squared multiple correlations show that the two endogenous variables in this
model are not predicted very accurately by the other variables in the model. This goes
to show that the chi-square test of fit is not a measure of accuracy of prediction.
