Recent research suggests multidimensional forced-choice (MFC) response formats may provide resistance to purposeful response distortion on personality assessments. It remains unclear, however, whether these formats provide normative trait information required for selection contexts. The current research evaluated score correspondences between an MFC format measure and 2 Likert-type measures in honest and instructed-faking conditions. In honest response conditions, scores from the MFC measure appeared valid indicators of normative trait standing. Under faking conditions, the MFC measure showed less score inflation than the Likert measure at the group level of analysis. In the individual-level analyses, however, the MFC measure was as affected by faking as was the Likert measure. Results suggest the MFC format is not a viable method to control faking.
近期研究表明，多维强制选择（MFC）反应格式可能会在人格评估中抵御有目的的反应扭曲。然而，这些格式是否能提供选拔情境所需的规范性特质信息仍不明确。当前研究评估了在诚实作答和指令性伪装条件下，一种MFC格式测量与两种李克特式测量之间的分数对应关系。在诚实作答条件下，MFC测量的分数似乎是规范性特质水平的有效指标。在伪装条件下，在组水平分析中，MFC测量的分数膨胀程度低于李克特测量。然而，在个体水平分析中，MFC测量与李克特测量一样容易受到伪装的影响。结果表明，MFC格式不是控制伪装的可行方法。
