  • Title: Simulation of brain damage on the Bender-Gestalt test by college subjects.
    Author: Bruhn AR, Reed MR.
    Journal: J Pers Assess; 1975 Jun; 39(3):244-55. PubMed ID: 1185494.
    Abstract:
    The study found that nonbraindamaged college subjects could not simulate organicity on the Bender-Gestalt test when instructed to do so. Although Pascal-Suttell and Canter scoring methods failed to differentiate malingerers from an organic criterion group, an ABPP clinician sorted 89% of the records correctly in a pilot study. Differentiating criteria were then spelled out from the pilot study protocols. In the main study the expert clinician correctly identified all 20 malingerers. Subsequent studies of intra- and inter-rater reliability produced satisfactory results.
