Abstract:
Recent investigations suggest that the five factors are highly susceptible to faking. Three studies are presented that address the effects of positive self-presentational set on the revised edition of the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R). Study 1 involves a within-subjects design ( N = 100) for the purposes of determining the effects of positive self-presentation on NEO PI-R domain and facet scales. Study 2 reports the development of two multivariate functions for the classification of fake-good protocols and provides results supporting the generalizability of these equations. Finally, Study 3 addresses the issue of specificity in a low base-rates sample ( N = 254) and lends further evidence for the convergent and discriminant validity of these functions. These findings suggest that the NEO PI-R is clearly vulnerable to faking and support the contention that profiles derived under socially desirable conditions can be accurately identified.
