ANSWER: somatic symptoms [accept somatic symptoms disorder; accept psychosomatic disorders; accept somatoform disorders]
[10h] The MMPI includes several of these measures that quantify improper test taking. Examples include K, which measures defensiveness, and FBS, which measures an individual's attempt to “fake bad.”
