ARE FEIGNING SCREENS "COMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL"? A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF THE MILLER FORENSIC ASSESSMENT OF SYMPTOMS TEST, ATYPICAL PRESENTATION SCALES, AND STRUCTURED INVENTORY OF MALINGERED SYMPTOMATOLOGY.
— STAFF
These are the screens forensic evaluators actually administer in the most common psycho-legal assessment in the United States, and the pooled figures now supply the numbers an expert will be cross-examined on. An evaluator who has been treating a positive M-FAST or ATP result as evidence of overreporting must now qualify that assertion and document follow-up symptom validity testing, while a negative result is better supported than before.
