Abstract: There are two ways to conduct Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using individual confirmatory factor analysis or group confirmatory factor analysis based on the measurement model.The number of items depends on the construct used in the study and the measurement model analysis is conducted separately if the number of items in the construct is more than four.Whereas, pooled CFA runs all measurement models at the same time.This Unidimensionality requirement can be met through the item deletion procedure that has a low factor loading value to reach the set level of fitness indexes.Items with a factor loading value of less than 0.6 are considered unimportant to the measurement of the construct and can be discarded (Chik & Abdullah, 2018).A total of 384 study samples were involved in this research, among PIHE (Public Institutions of Higher Education) students in three (3) states on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.Data were analyzed using the IBM-SPSS-AMOS (SEM) program version 21.0.Adjustment tests were conducted to ensure that the tested indicators truly represent the construct being measured and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was conducted in this study as a prerequisite that must be met.The findings of the study show that all the correlations between the constructs Principal's 'Rabbani' Leadership (based on Practice of Building Kindness, Principal Capacity Building Practices, Group Resilience Building Practices, Practices for Building a Culture of Knowledge, Teaching Process Development Practices), Early Climate Culture and Student Personality Formation, have a value less than 0.85 (<0.85) among Terengganu state secondary school.The results of the combined 14,
