Note. PAI = Personality Assessment Inventory. PPI-I and PPI-II = Factors 1 and 2 of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (Benning et al., 2003). Asterisks next to each criterion measure name denote the significance level of the difference between the correlations of PPI-I and PPI-II with that measure.

N’s range from 88 to 96, except for the PAI scales, where n = 60.
