Popis: Objective Considerable research in veteran and military populations has focused on the development of embedded symptom validity indicators on the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) including the low frequency (LOW6), negative impression management (NIM5), and validity (VAL10) scales. These measures have been less studied in other clinical settings. This study examined embedded NSI validity scales in a rehabilitation setting. Method Participants (N = 94) underwent outpatient neuropsychological evaluation using the NSI, MMPI-2-RF, and Memory Complaints Inventory (MCI), among other measures. Cognitive symptom over-reporting was psychometrically determined if the MCI (average score > 39) and MMPI-2-RF (RBS > 79 T or FBS > 79 T) were elevated. Results Thirty-four participants (36%) met over-reporting criteria. NSI total scores were significantly different between over-reporting (M = 48.7, SD = 12.2) and non-over-reporting (M = 28.1, SD = 14.3) groups (p 18) showed sensitivity of 56% and 90% specificity. VAL10 scores of 4 or below demonstrated 100% sensitivity and may be considered evidence that additional assessment of cognitive over-reporting is not needed. Conclusion Findings support the utility of NSI validity indicators to screen for cognitive over-reporting in a rehabilitation setting.
