Abstract

Structured personality tests often use person reliability indices to detect inconsistent respondents. Despite its face validity, considerable debate exists on whether person reliability is a meaningful construct. Two independent studies demonstrated that person reliability measures which had adequate ranges converged and were uncontaminated by social desirability or verbal ability. Within session indices were able to predict both across session person reliability and profile validity, supporting test users' convictions that individuals who respond inconsistently are likely to present invalid profiles. Further research should focus on explicit delineation of the person reliability domain.
