Convergent Validity of the Personality Assessment Inventory: A Study of Emergency Referrals in a Correctional Setting.

Rogers, Richard; Ustad, Karen L.; Salekin, Randall T.

Assessment, v5 n1 p3-12 Mar 1998

The convergent validity of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) (Morey, 1991) was examined with 80 referrals in a correctional facility. Comparison of PAI results with those from four other measures reveals moderate to good convergent validity for screening for feigned profiles, clinical correlates of common disorders, and evaluating potential for suicidal ideation.
