Fake bad test response bias effects on the test of variables of attention . This study investigated the effects of faking bad ( FB ) on the Test of Variables of Attention ( TOVA ) using subjects randomly placed into two groups . Subjects in Group 1 took the TOVA under normal conditions ( NC ) first ; they were then requested to subtly fake bad . Group 2 subjects took the TOVA under the same fake bad instructions first , then took the test under normal conditions the second time . An analysis of the effects of test order yielded non-significant differences for basic TOVA variables across all four quarters , both halves and the total score . An analysis for group mean differences between the NC and the FB instructions yielded significant differences across the basic TOVA variables across the four quarters , two halves and total score . The FB group had excessive amounts of omission and commission errors , a greater response time mean ( i.e. , slower to respond ) and had greater variance around their mean response time . The study affirms that the professional using the TOVA needs to carefully eliminate a fake bad test-taking bias when subjects produce excessive test results .
