  • Integrity- Likelihood a person is to short-change customers, falsify expense accounts, lie to protect themselves, or engage in other acts of dishonesty.
  • Good Impression- A validity scale that measures the degree to which the person has responded truthfully verses responding in such a way to make a good impression.
  • Sexual Harassment- The likelihood that this person will make sexual remarks, tell dirty jokes, or otherwise behave inappropriately at work.
