For example, in their survey of validity test use, Sharland and Gfeller (2007) [3] found that the FBS was the third most widely used validity test by neuropsychologists. In a more recent study, Martin, Schroeder, and Odland (2015) found in a survey of general practitioners that the FBS was the most widely used symptom validity test (SVT) for ...
The test “validation” of the SIMS [1,4] by Smith and Burger [1] proceeded by comparing healthy undergraduates instructed to respond honestly to responses of healthy undergraduates instructed to feign medical or psychological symptoms.

[10] To meet criteria for a symptom, a patient must meet criteria in both frequency and intensity score for each item.

The validity scales measure the respondent's overall approach to the test, including faking good or bad, exaggeration, defensiveness, carelessness, or random responding. Inconsistency (ICN) is the degree to which respondents answer similar questions in different ways.
