Stated simply psychopathology is undesirable. Ask a group of persons to identify SRI items that reflect undesirable characteristics and if they are included in the pool participants will undoubtedly generate a list of items describing negative psychological characteristics. Edwards s assumption that individuals responses to such items reflect a substantively meaningless response style proved subsequently to be unwarranted and was refuted by Block s 1965 analyses. Nonetheless Edwards and some followers continued to raise these arguments. For example relying like Edwards on scales that reflected desirability judgments Jackson Fraboni and Helmes 1997 criticized the MMPI-2 Content Scales Butcher et al. 1990 for being highly saturated with social desirability. As Edwards failed to do before them these authors did not explain how scales that they concluded were highly saturated with irrelevant stylistic variance could account significantly for a wide range of extratest personality and psychopathology variables Butcher et al. 1990 . Implications of Threats to Protocol Validity The issues discussed and highlighted in this section illustrate the crucial role played by respondents test-taking approaches in determining the interpretability of SRI scale scores. Allport 1937 and Ellis 1946 foresaw accurately that reliance on an individual s willingness and ability to generate an accurate self-portrayal when responding to test items was the among the greatest challenges facing SRI developers and users. Subsequent decades of research and practice have illuminated a host of threats to protocol validity just described all manifestations of the kinds of concerns identified early on by Allport and Ellis. Self-report inventory developers have responded to these threats in various ways ranging from the development of validity scales SRI measures designed to assess and in some instances .
