J Clin Psychol. 1986 Jul;42(4):593-5. doi: 10.1002/1097-4679(198607)42:4<593::aid-jclp2270420408>3.0.co;2-n.

Abstract

Recent work with the F-K index of the MMPI has reaffirmed its usefulness for identifying dissimulation. However, the potential usefulness of any index of malingering is dependent on its frequency of occurrence in the normal population. This article presents normative tables for the F-K index based on a contemporary normative sample of 335 normal women and 304 normal men.
