Social:SIMS (Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology)

From HandWiki

The Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS) is a psychometric test that measures neurological and psychiatric symptom exaggeration and feigning. Psychologists and other clinicians use the SIMS to screen for possible malingering.[1] The SIMS is a self-report screening questionnaire made of 75 true/false items. From a psychometric point of view, the SIMS generally demonstrates very good sensitivity and specificity.[2][3]

The SIMS has been translated into German,[4] Italian,[5] Spanish,[6][7] and Dutch.[8]

The SIMS has also been used to investigate, in medical-legal and forensic contexts, the distorting impact that the evaluative context itself exerts on the tendency of subjects with mental psychopathology (psychosis) to amplify symptoms.[9]
