Detecting Intentional, Realistic Response Distortion on the MMPI-2 Using Multiple Validity Scales
… even one scale was interpreted as a faked response. MMPI-2 protocols of all participants were analyzed to determine if the validity scales were able to accurately identify which subjects faked and which answered honestly. Participants were randomly assigned to a faking bad or honest …

An Examination of Test-Taking Attitudes and Response Distortion on a Personality Test
This study examined test-taking attitudes and response distortion on a personality test. Consistent with our hypotheses, applicants were found to have significantly more positive test-taking attitudes and exhibit a greater degree of response distortion as compared to incumbents. In addition, …

The effect of response distortion on the accuracy of predictive inferences of personality inventories
… that subjects could successfully distort their responses on all scales. Depending on the scale characteristics, faking could both reduce as well as increase scale variability and reliability. People who are highly intelligent did not distort their responses any better than people of lower …

Response distortion and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: implications for selection and organizational applications
… Type Indicator (MBTI) are susceptible to response distortion, and whether certain personality types are more proficient at distorting these scales. A 4 (temperament type) X 3 (level of information) X 3 (intelligence group) factorial design was used to examine the experimental hypotheses. …

Using Appropriateness Measurement to Detect Realistic Faking of Personality Tests
… (i.e., examining how well a pattern of responses fit item characteristics) has not been thoroughly investigated. The present study examines whether the two most popular appropriateness indices, Z3 and F2, are capable of detecting response distortion among test takers instructed to answer …

A Conditional Reasoning Measure of Goal Orientation : Preliminary Development
… measures of goal orientation are susceptible to response distortion, which leads to inaccurate assessments of an individual's goal setting and task choice motivations. Conditional reasoning measures provide an indirect way to assess implicit cognitions associated with personality constructs. In …

Nonvolitional Faking on a Personality Measure: Testing the Influence of Unconscious Processes
… measures were predicted to be susceptible to response distortion above and beyond volitional strategies of impression management. A 2 (Instruction Set) x 2 (Personality Feedback) x 2 (Mortality Salience) factorial design addressed social desirability biases in responding to personality …

The Development of a Computer Adaptive Test Of the Five Factor Model of Personality: Applications and Extensions
… New approaches to the detection of intentional response distortion were explored with mixed results including some promising findings in need of cross-validation. Response latencies were able to discriminate between honest and faking subjects, but the findings were unable to clarify the issue of …

The Effect of Divulging the Intent of the Conditional Reasoning Test of Aggression to Responses
… characteristic of CR tests is designed to combat response distortion by test takers in personality testing. The CR system was used to develop the Conditional Reasoning Test of Aggression (CRT-A; James & Mclntyre, 2000), a tool used to screen employees whose scores indicate an aggressive …

Analysis of the CNV waveform in the time and frequency domains.
The Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) response of the Electroencephalogram (EEC) is often obscured by the background EEC and/or ocular artefacts (OAs). These necessitate the application of a variety of signal processing techniques to reduce the influence of such phenomena on the measured signal. …

EXAMINING THE ROLE OF JOB FAMILIARITY, COGNITIVE ABILITY, AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN FAKING SUCCESS FOR PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT
… the use of measures due to faking behavior or response distortion. Furthermore, these criticisms are warranted because laboratory studies have consistently found that when instructed, respondents are able to alter their scores in order to appear more desirable. Additionally, there is also …
