Abstract
Possible faking on objectively scored self-report measures has been a serious concern to researchers and practitioners since the inception of such measures. Accordingly, various methods to discourage and detect faking have been developed over the years, with embedded validity or so called “lie” scales remaining a popular method to serve those purposes. In this brief article, we describe a rediscovered “total score-based” method for detecting faking that obliviates the need for lie scales when using multidimensional self-report inventories and report results from an empirical study in which this rediscovered method was better at detecting both faked good and faked bad responses to a widely administered personality inventory than were validity scale scores from the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding.
