SANCHEZ CRESPO, Guadalupe; JIMENEZ GOMEZ, Fernando  and  AMPUDIA RUEDA, Amada. Detecting the simulation profile in MMPI-2: a proposal based on research. Rev. psicol. (Lima) [online]. 2008, vol.26, n.2, pp.277-298. ISSN 0254-9247.

The aim of this study is to offer a profile detector of the falsifications that could be done to the MMPI-2. We propose minimal changes in the reversed order of the direct punctuations of L y K and the addition of four new specific scales: Odecp, Ds-r, S, F-K. Two groups were used: a control group, composed by normal and clinical subgroups who answered to the MMPI-2 according to standard procedure, and an experimental group, composed by three subgroups with different answer instructions: to give a good image, a bad image or an inconsistent answer. The result is a profile with the proposed scales of validity that initially allow the detection of different falsifications by the subjects when answering the MMPI-2 test.
