Response Validity Battery

Three complementary checks on how someone answered: Chapman Infrequency, Marlowe–Crowne Form C (MC-SDS-13), and the Novo-style 8-item SDR index from IPIP-NEO-120 stems. DSQ-88 Lie is reserved for a later slot.

What’s in this Battery

Composes Infrequency and MC-SDS-13 with a lightweight SDR path that reuses the same IPIP-NEO-120 item stems already shipped for the NEO-120 SDR sidecar — not a full NEO-120 take. One Battery SKU unlocks the combined report.

Infrequency (Validity)
13 items

Chapman careless / non-credible check. Cutoff: more than two endorsements flags the protocol.

Social Desirability (MC-SDS-13)
13 items

Crowne Form C short form. Raw score + descriptors; open M/SD norms deferred.

Socially Desirable Responding (SDR)
8 items

Eight IPIP-NEO stems, Novo-style raw range 8–40. Not a sixth personality factor.

Deferred / not yet included

DSQ-88 Lie. Not in the catalog yet. Slot documented here; items will ship when Daniel’s DSQ-88 Lie content is in-repo. Do not invent DSQ items.

Scoring & report

Infrequency uses the Chapman cutoff (>2 = protocol invalid), not percentiles. MC-SDS-13 reports raw score and descriptors (Crowne open M/SD deferred — not invented). SDR reports raw 8–40 with descriptors (Johnson AU percentiles deferred).

Free to take. Unlock the completed Battery report for $15 (repeats $11). One Battery SKU — not separate unlocks per subscale.
