Detection of Faking Good on the MMPI in a Psychiatric Inpatient Population

“…He recommended a cutoff score of +9 for maximizing fake bad discrimination. Other researchers (Anthony, 1971;Drasgow & Barnette, 1957;Exner et al, 1963) have found different F-K cutoff scores to be optimal with various populations.…”

Predicting Air Force Recidivism by the Mmpi Test-Retest

“…On the test-retest within groups, successful restorees differed significantly on scales (L), (K), (SR), and (4f ), whereas unsuccessfuls on the second test differed significantly on scales (F), (Pd), (Sc), (Si) and (DO). These differences offer the possibility of using combinations of WMPI scales for prediction of recidLvism, whereas single predictors as used in this study have limited predictive efficiency (Guilford, 1950 Gough (1950), Drasgow andBarnette (1957), andCofer (1949) have shown that…”

Theory and Techniques of Assessment

“…A con figurational analysis of scales distinguished neurotics from schizophrenics "at a very high level of confidence" but with from 10 per cent to 20 per cent misses [Taulbee & Sisson (187)]. The index F -K cor related .6 with number of children among job applicants (50) ; that repre sents one of the highest correlations for the year between a test score and a nontest variable.
