A Typology of Test-Takers Based on True Responding and Item Endorsement
Keyword(s):
The Mean
◽
A method of assigning test-takers to four categories based on true responding and item endorsement was presented. Predictions were formulated concerning the mean probabilities of a true response of the four categories on four experimental scales which are heterogeneous and balanced in content and which differ in positive vs negative wording and personality vs attitude format. The predictions were tested on the data from 196 college students and comparisons between the four categories suggested that subjects differ reliably on true responding and item endorsement and that these two response styles may be implicated differentially by personality and attitude items.
