Question:shouldn't eigenvectors be normalized?

Help!

I've used Eigenvectors to solve for eigenvalues & eigenvectors.  Eigenvalues works, no problem.

The eigenvectors are not normalized to unit magnitude (how would I do that for all eigenvectors?) and the usual matrix multiplication of the eigenmatrix by its transpose should give the identity matrix--and somehow it does not. 

Can someone point out the flaw in my thinking?  The file is attached.

 

Thanks for you insight!
