The VIP identifies invalid response styles and helps to determine whether the results of other cognitive and neuropsychological tests should be considered representative of the individual's overall capacities. It is designed to help meet the increasing need for a well-validated, psychometrically sound test that can provide empirical support in courtrooms and other legal situations. The VIP test provides a broad spectrum of information about an individual’s performance on an assessment battery. It clarifies test performance as Compliant (good effort to respond correctly), Inconsistent (insufficient effort to respond correctly), Irrelevant (no intention to respond correctly, no effort to respond incorrectly), or Suppressed (strong effort to respond incorrectly).
For VIP, there is an Overview tab and a Subtests tab.
