Weijian, Look at multidimensional scaling functions such as cmdscale or isoMDS (in MASS) or factor analysis (e.g., factanal in core R or fa in the psych package) or item cluster analysis (ICLUST, also in psych). What you will need to think about is how many dimensions best represent the 10

Probably I put it too complicated. I just try to draw 10 points on a plot. Each point stand for one variable. If two variables are highly correlated, the corresponding dots are to be drawn closer. Say, variable X1, X2, X3, are highly correlated among them, so they will be clustered; variables X4,
