Abstract
Respondents instructed to present "as a very good member of society" scored higher on the NEO-FFI Extraversion and Agreeableness factors, and lower on Neuroticism, than subjects responding honestly. No significant differences were found on Openness or Conscientiousness. Respondents attempting to "look good" eluded detection by the MMPI-2.
