Abstract
This study examined the association between Symptom Validity Test (SVT) failure and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2 Restructured Form (MMPI–2–RF; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008), in the Forensic Disability Claimant samples described in the MMPI–2–RF Technical Manual (Tellegen & Ben-Porath, 2008 Tellegen, A. and Ben-Porath, Y. S. 2008. MMPI–2–RF (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2–Restructured Form) technical manual, Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press. [Google Scholar]a, 2008b). SVTs used included the Word Memory Test (Green, 2003 Green, P. 2003. Green's Word Memory Test for Windows: User's manual, Edmonton, Alberta, , Canada: Green's Publishing. [Google Scholar]), the Computerized Assessment of Response Bias (Allen, Conder, Green, & Cox, 1997 Allen, L., Conder, R. L., Green, P. and Cox, D. R. 1997. CARB’ 97 manual for the Computerized Assessment of Response Bias, Durham, NC: CogniSyst. [Google Scholar]), the Medical Symptom Validity Test (Green, 2004 Green, P. 2004. Green's Medical Symptom Validity Test (MSVT): User's manual, Edmonton, Alberta, , Canada: Green's Publishing. [Google Scholar]), and the Test of Memory Malingering (Tombaugh, 1996 Tombaugh, T. N. 1996. Test of Memory Malingering, Toronto, Ontario, , Canada: MultiHealth Systems. [Google Scholar]). SVT failure was associated with significant elevations throughout the MMPI–2–RF overreporting validity scales and substantive scales. Pairwise contrasts between groups failing 0 and 3 SVTs revealed predominantly large effect sizes for the overreporting validity scales (d = 0.78–1.11), and many of the substantive scales, including the Cognitive Complaints (COG) scale. Results of this study demonstrate an association between SVT performance and elevated scores on the MMPI–2–RF. These results suggest that exaggeration of cognitive symptoms as demonstrated by SVT failure is also associated with overreported emotional, somatic, and neurocognitive complaints on the MMPI–2–RF.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
