Rey 15-item memorization and dot counting scores in a 'stress' claim worker's compensation population: relationship to personality (MCMI) scores

Article Abstract:

Malingering, which is defined as purposeful underperformance on cognitive impairment tests, can be a problem among people who have brought suits in which psychological harm is claimed. The results of a battery of psychological tests given to 154 people who had made psychiatric disability claims indicated that roughly one-eighth of the group were faking the condition they claimed. Each of the administered tests, which included Dot Counting, memorization, and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), yielded different malingering rates.
