A comparison of MVP and MSVT performance among a diverse clinical pediatric sample.

The Memory Validity Profile (MVP) and Medical Symptom Validity Test (MSVT) are performance validity tests (PVTs) used to identify potential noncredible test performance during psychological evaluations. This study sought to examine the agreement between MVP and MSVT pass rates, as well as to determine if there are differences in MVP pass rates when using the cutoff score in the MVP professional manual compared with the experimental cutoff score of <31. Via retrospective review of records, 106 clients at a private neuropsychological clinic who had been given the MVP and the MSVT were identified.
