The acceptability of ‘fake’ versus ‘bona fide’ personality test interpretations
Sundberg compared the acceptance of fake and genuine test interpretations. As reported in the 1985 review, two judges found about five times as many favourable as unfavourable statements in the most accepted interpretations and about twice as many in the least accepted, and there was a tendency to accept shorter sketches.
