“…Neither appears to match the WMT's exquisite sensitivity although they do exceed the TOMM (Green 2006(Green , 2007. The MSVT has several publications to its credit (Blaskewitz et al 2008;Carone 2008;Howe and Loring 2008;Stevens et al 2008) and offers an additional benefit over potential competitors: its subtests closely parallel the WMT's but are considerably easier. Performance levels on the MSVT that are lower than comparable scales on the WMT would be highly suspicious.…”

“…Moreover, almost two thirds of these litigants had at least one implausible feature such as amnesia for the event and delayed symptom onset (more than 1 month after the event). Another study by the same group (Stevens et al 2008) examined litigants referred for psychological, psychiatric, and neurological evaluation in a workers' compensation or personal injury context. Of those with complaints of PTSD, 44% failed effort testing that included the WMT, Medical Symptom Validity Test, and the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology.…”

“…En Holanda se hallan tasas del 61% en sujetos litigantes tras esguince cervical (Schmand et al, 1998), en Inglaterra se valoran porcentajes del 33% en evaluados por traumatismo craneoencefálico (Moss, Jones, Fokias, y Quinn, 2003). En Alemania la tasa media de simulación de TEPT tras accidente se eleva hasta el 51%, (Merten, Friedel y Stevens, 2006) y en solicitantes de indemnización por lesiones hasta el 44,6% (Stevens et al, 2008). Por último, en Suiza, se ha estimado tasas de incidencia de simulación en solicitantes de discapacidad por lesiones hasta del 54% (Plohmann, 2013).…”

“…Si bien, los sujetos clasificados como indeterminados en la condición de simulación en esta tesis, presentan resultados para todos los análisis efectuados, estadísticamente análogos a los obtenidos por aquellos sujetos probablemente simuladores. Así pues, al excluir al grupo indeterminado, la prevalencia estimada de simulación se eleva al (20%), este dato resulta acorde al de los estudio de solicitud de discapacidad o indemnización, el cual oscila entre el (14%) y el (50%) (Stevens, Friedel, Mehren, y Merten, 2008).…”
