Relatively naive psychology sophomores effectively can fake the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire and the Maudsley Personality Inventory to simulate both an “extravert”, and an “aggressive” sales executive personality pattern, and to create a “good impression.” Differences among the three conditions are consistent with different intentions by the testees. Students conceive creating a “good impression” as portraying themselves as being extraverted and non‐anxious‐neurotic. The fact that both questionnaires are equally fakeable points to the need for care in their use in employee selection.
