CNG test identified three factors. mood, social, and Miso-OC

Banker et al. (2022) investigated misophonia’s transdiagnostic structure and social controllability using large-scale self-report data and a modified ultimatum game, analyzed via factor analysis and a 2-step forward thinking model. Factor analysis using the Cattell–Nelson–Gorsuch test revealed three latent dimensions, separating general affective distress (mood), social impairment traits (social), and a distinct cluster combining misophonia and obsessive-compulsive symptoms (Miso-OC), indicating that misophonia does not primarily align with social dysfunction but instead with control-related psychopathology (Banker et al., 2022).
