PAI Interpretation T scores

Inconsistency (ICN) 40 Low scores on ICN (<64T) suggest that the


respondent answered consistently and
probably attended appropriately to item
content while responding to items.
Infrequency (INF) 71 Moderate elevations (60T -74T) indicate some
unusual responses to INF items and at the
higher end of this range one should consider
potential sources such as (a) reading
difficulties, (b) random sampling, (c) confusion,
(d) scoring errors, (e) idiosyncratic item
interpretation, or (f) failure to follow the test
instructions.
Negative Impression (NIM) 56 Generally, low scores (< 73T ) on NIM suggest
that there is little distortion in a negative
direction on the clinical scales and the
respondent likely did not attempt to present
more negative impression than the clinical
picture would warrant.
Positive Impression (PIM) 50 Generally, scores from 44T -56T suggest that
the respondent did not attempt to present an
unrealistically favourable impression in
completing the test, although scores in the
upper end of this range tend to be unusual in
clinical settings.

ideas and being creative but has bit difficulty in communicating with others. In the

and retiring, self conscious in social interactions and probably not skilled in asserting
