Is Faking Inevitable?
Brian Lukoff · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2011
This chapter examines methods that aim to reduce faking. These methods alter the delivery mechanism of the assessment by changing the way test questions are asked (verifiable biodata and situational judgment tests), the person they are asked to (third-party ratings), or the instructions that accompany the assessment itself (warning respondents not to fake). The chapter concludes by describing a new method that combines a real-time faking detection algorithm with warnings based on the results of the algorithm, which can potentially harness the power of warnings while avoiding some of their pitfalls.
