Conclusions: Joint use of the FBS/FBS-r, FS, and RBS appears to be an effective means of enhancing detection of negative response bias by determining the rate of SVT failure associated with different score combinations. Figure 2 presents FBS-r, RBS, and FS performance at the T 90 cutoff. Figure 1 is a graphic representation of FBS, RBS, and F S performance at T 80. Using an F S cutoff of 6 or higher also increased the observed rate of SVT failure. FBS(-r) and RBS scores above the cutoffs of T 80 and T 90 were associated with the highest rates of SVT failure. Failure rates ranged from 2 -63% depending on the cutoff score combination and SVT examined.

Percent Failing SVTs by High/Low FBS, RBS, and Fs Score Levels (T = 80) (Total Sample) Objective: Examine how different cutoff levels on the MMPI-2 Symptom Validity Scale (FBS), its shorter MMPI-2 -RF version (FBS-r), the Response Bias Scale (RBS) and the MMPI-2 -RF Infrequency-Somatic (F S) predict performance on four commonly used Symptom Validity Tests (SVTs).
