Supplemental Validity Report

The Supplemental Validity Scale (SVS) Report, unique to Caldwell Reports, gives you immediate, concise information when profile validity is the main concern as in forensic or employment settings. This report includes all scale scores, critical items, and features Caldwell’s Test Taking Attitude section, a summary of a 13-scale nexus, unparalleled in psychological assessment. The SVS Report is a brief summation of the client’s approach to the inventory when this is the issue at hand, especially when malingering, or, conversely, “faking good”, may be distorting the interpretation of the clinical scales. The SVS may be especially relevant in forensic settings.
