An examination of the ECST-R as a Screen for Feigned Incompetency to Stand Trial
Article Abstract:
The feigning on the Evaluation of Competency to Stand Trial-Revised (ECST-R) is addressed, and the effectiveness of the ECST-R's Atypical Presentation (ATP) scales as screens for feigned incompetency are examined. It is found that ECST-R ATP scales appear to be homogenous scales with established clinical use as feigning screens in competency-to-stand-trial (CST) evaluations.

It is observed that the scores on the PCL:SV quantitatively vary as points on a dimension instead of partitioning into qualitatively distinct groups of behavior like psychopath and nonpsychopath.
