Effects of faking on a sentence completion test. of ego development, explored in five experiments, partially confirmed the developmental hypothesis that persons can lower their ego level test scores but not increase them. When faking high on retest, subjects scores either stayed the same or increased by about a half step. Only intensive study of ego development seemed genuinely to increase scores. When faking a bad impression or a low ego level, subjects' scores decreased, typically to the pre-Conformist level. Unexpectedly, attempts to make a good impression lowered high scores, especially for women, Because the test is susceptible to factors which can artificially lower scores, careful planning and evaluation of testing conditions must accompany test use.
在五个实验中探究了伪装对句子完成测验及自我发展的影响，部分证实了发展假说，即人们可以降低其自我水平测验分数，但无法提高分数。在重测时伪装高分时，受试者的分数要么保持不变，要么提高约半步。只有对自我发展进行深入研究似乎才能真正提高分数。当伪装出坏印象或低自我水平时，受试者的分数会下降，通常降至前遵奉者水平。出乎意料的是，试图留下好印象会降低高分，尤其是对女性而言。因为该测验易受可能人为降低分数的因素影响，所以在使用测验时必须仔细规划和评估测验条件。
