Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) is the most widely used self-report questionnaire for assessing malingering through validity scales. The MMPI-2 has several validity scales, including the F scale (which measures the degree of deviance from the norm) and the K scale (which assesses defensiveness or a tendency to present oneself in a positive light). These scales can be used to identify people who are faking bad or exaggerating symptoms.
