Characteristics of items in the Eysenck Personality Inventory which affect responses when students simulate
A large sample of students completed Form A of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, and four subgroups were later asked to simulate extraversion, introversion, neuroticism or stability. It was found that subjects could simulate these four personalities successfully. The changes in individual item responses were correlated with the items' factor loadings, validity, response bias, and detectability. The different scales and types of item were conside…
An Analysis of the Items of the Eysenck Personality Inventory
An item analysis was carried out on Forms A ( n = 200) and B ( n = 252) of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) in order to establish how well the items perform. The method was, for each scale, to compare the mean total score of the people who said ‘yes’ to each item with the mean total score for the people who said ‘no’. The differences between the means were tested for significance, and it was found that some items had no significant differe…
Detectability of Items in the Eysenck Personality Inventory
Fifty university students completed Form B of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, and were then asked to indicate which items were measures of neuroticism (N), extraversion (E) and lying. Almost all items were correctly detected, and detectability of items as N and E items was highly correlated with their factor loadings Correct detection of N items was not related to N factor loadings, but correct detection of E items was related to E factor load…
Simulation of Introversion and Extraversion on the Lemon Test
It has been reported that the salivary response of subjects to lemon juice is correlated with their degree of extraversion, and that this ‘lemon test’ is more satisfactory than questionnaires for measuring extraversion, since subjects cannot simulate as they can with questionnaires. In order to test the validity of this second claim, an experiment was carried out in which subjects were asked to control their salivation. It was found that subjects…
Detection of Simulation on the Mpi by Subjects Given the Rationale of the Lie Scale
The MPI was administered to independent groups of 34 subjects under four sets of instructions. Group C was given the standard instructions, group FSI was asked to simulate a ‘desirable’ personality and told the rationale of the lie scale, group FSIE was given the FSI instructions plus examples of lie scale items and group FSIP was asked to simulate and was given a previously established ‘popular’ version of the rationale of lie scales. The three …
Simulation of Stable and Neurotic Personalities by Subjects Warned of the Presence of Lie Scales in Inventories
A version of the MPI, which in addition to the usual lie scale (LS) included a lie scale to detect malingerers (LM), was administered to independent groups of subjects under five sets of instructions. Group FS was asked to simulate stability, Group FSW to simulate stability and warned of the lie scale, Group C was given the standard instructions, Group FNW was asked to simulate neuroticism and warned of the lie scale, and Group FN was asked to si…
