Abstract | Investigated the effects of item order and questionnaire content on faking good or intentional response distortion. 84 preselected pilot applicants (aged 18-23 years) filled out a questionnaire consisting of 516 items including items from the German versions of the NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R), and Business-Focused Inventory of Personality (BIP). A volunteer sample (control groups) was included and consisted of 200 individuals aged 16-72 years). The positions of the items were varied within the applicant sample to test if responses are affected by item order, and applicants' response behavior was additionally compared to that of volunteers. Applicants reported significantly higher mean scores than volunteers, and results provide some evidence of decreased faking tendencies towards the end of the questionnaire. Furthermore, it could be demonstrated that lower variances or standard deviations in combination with appropriate (often higher) mean scores can serve as an indicator for faking tendencies in group comparisons, even if effects are not significant.
