The
Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) is simply a symptom checklist in which
the individual is presented with a list of symptoms or complaints that they can
either endorse or deny. However, this
test has no method for detecting an individual who is attempting to embellish
or simulate their complaints. Further,
the use of a symptom checklist is inappropriate in a medical-legal examination
where the presentation of the list itself can be an encouragement to endorse
items that do not reflect the individual’s status.
