Development and Evaluation of Validity Scales for the Neuropsychology Behavior and Affect Profile: A Dissembling Study.

Satz, Paul; And Others

Psychological Assessment, v8 n2 p115-24 Jun 1996

Four validity scales were developed for the Neuropsychology Behavior and Affect Profile using data from clinical and nonclinical samples. A second study, which involved 157 subjects, indicated that combinations of the clinical and validity scales effectively differentiated dissemblers from brain injury patients, even when dissemblers were highly trained.
