Screening Tool for the Detection of Feigned or Exaggerated Psychiatric Disturbance and Cognitive Dysfunction in Adults who Speak Spanish
The SIMS is a 75-item, true-or-false screening instrument that assesses both malingered psychopathology and neuropsychological symptoms. Materials, including the manual, have been translated into Spanish and designed especially for Spanish-speaking clinicians and their clients.
Features and benefits
- Instrument has been translated into European Spanish. No English-language materials are included.
- Normative data were collected primarily in Spain, with additional data collected in some Latin American countries.
- Certain test items and stimuli in this translation vary from the English version because of cultural and linguistic differences between the countries and their language.
- This version of the SIMS must be scored online; a Scoring Pin serves as a password that allows you to score one protocol for each booklet purchased. Online scoring is completed through a Spanish-language Web site.
