Abstract
This research investigated whether the perceived ability to deceive (PATD) scale predicts ability to
deceive in a vocational testing context. Using a quasi-experimental design, participants (N = 85 student
and community members) completed the PATD scale and a personality measure under standard instructions
before being asked to fake the personality measure as if they were applying for a job in the police
force. Based on extant research, successful faking was operationalised as elevated scores on conscientiousness
and extraversion and reduced scores on neuroticism. Analysis via independent t-test did not
support the hypothesis that PATD predicts faking success. Future research should consider the relationship
between PATD and intention to fake, as well as extend examination of PATD to other deceptionrelated
contexts.
