To determine the effects of reading the Wikipedia article on the Rorschach on Comprehensive System variables, participants in this study (recruited from parent–teacher associations, online message boards, and graduate schools; N = 50) were provided with either a copy of the Wikipedia article on the Rorschach (from April 2010) or an irrelevant article, then administered the Rorschach and instructed to “fake good.” Monetary incentives were used to increase motivation to dissimulate.

The Impact of Exposure to Internet-Based Information About the Rorschach and the MMPI–2 on Psychiatric Outpatients’ Ability to Simulate Mentally Healthy Test Performance

TLDR

TLDR
It is suggested that if future studies of larger clinical and more representative samples demonstrate corresponding results, a more elaborate standard instruction might be preferable.
Effects of Information About Validity Scales on Underreporting of Symptoms on the MMPI-2
The effects of two levels of information about the validity scales of the MMPI-2 on underreporting of symptoms were investigated in a college-student population. Subjects who were instructed and…
Effects of information about validity scales on underreporting of symptoms on the personality assessment inventory.
TLDR
It is suggested that coaching may enable some respondents to underreport symptoms without detection, and underreporting scales on the PAI are effective in discriminating standard profiles from those completed by uncoached underreporting participants but are less effective in discriminate standard profile from those produced by participants who have been warned about the under reporting scales.
Detection of underreporting on the MMPI-2 in a clinical population: effects of information about validity scales.
TLDR
Findings are consistent with previous results from a college student population suggesting that coaching about validity scales may interfere with the test's ability to detect underreporting respondents, although a few supplementary underreporting scales show promising resistance to the effects of coaching.
Superiority of Form% Over Lambda for Research on the Rorschach Comprehensive System
TLDR
This work illustrates the difficulties of the way Lambda is calculated and encourages the use of Form% (i.e., pure form responses/total responses) instead of Lambda in research.
Can Sex Offenders Who Minimize on the MMPI Conceal Psychopathology on the Rorschach?
TLDR
The findings indicate that the Rorschach is resilient to attempts at faking good and may therefore provide valuable information in forensic settings where intentional distortion is common.
Can psychosis be malingered on the Rorschach? An empirical study.
TLDR
The data suggest that the combination of the MMPI and Rorschach provides a powerful psychometric technique for detecting deliberate malingering of psychosis.
Detection of Minimization of Psychopathology on the Rorschach in Cleric and Noncleric Alleged Sex Offenders
TLDR
This study tested predictions based on prior research that minimization on the Rorschach would be reflected by higher P, D, A, Lambda, and PER, and lower R, Blends, and Zf, and found that these predictions do not support the use of any of these Rorsach scores in the assessment of minimization.

A Method to Optimize the Response Range While Maintaining Rorschach Comprehensive System Validity
TLDR
Examination of a nonintrusive method for constraining responses by prompting for an extra response when only one is offered per card and by removing the card after four responses are given demonstrates improved Comprehensive System validity in assessing thought disorder.
