Description
Summary:Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between elevations on Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) clinical scales and neuropsychological test performance. Method: Subjects were 155 patients referred to a Neurology/Neuropsychology clinic who underwent neuropsychological evaluation including measures of visualspatial ability, language, attention, memory, and executive functions. Only patients who obtained valid PAI profiles and failed no symptom validity tests were included. Participants were assigned to one of two groups based on PAI scores: (a) >70 t on one or more PAI clinical scales (n = 90; gender: 70% female; mean/SD: Age = 43.9/12.9; education = 13.6/2.2) or (b) all PAI scales
