A study with 804 undergraduates finds that Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 protocols that contain random responding with an onset after item 370 can be distinguished from protocols with an earlier onset of random responding. Results suggest that protocols with late random responding may be interpretable in terms of basic clinical and…

From…
