Test Characteristics for the Sample (N = 35).
| MMSE (N = 35) | FIT (N = 35) | MMSE/FIT (N = 35) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | 67% | 50% | 67% |
| Specificity | 93% | 86% | 83% |
| Positive predictive value (PPV) | 67% | 43% | 44% |
| Negative predictive value (NPV) | 93% | 89% | 92% |
Sensitivity: proportion of defendants with malingering who tested positive. Specificity: proportion of defendants without malingering who tested negative. PPV: proportion of defendants with positive tests who were malingering. NPV: proportion of defendants with negative tests who were not malingering.
