Abstract
Persónuleikapróf eru mikið notuð í sálfræði. Mikilvægt er að svarendur þeirra geti ekki villt á sér heimildir. Athugað var hvort þátttakendur gætu svarað persónuleikaprófi Eysencks í samræmi við starfsauglýsingu. Ennfremur var athugað hvort sjálfstjórn hefði áhrif á getu þátttakenda við að villa á sér heimildir. Niðurstöður sýna að þátttakendur gátu svarað persónuleikaprófi Eysencks í samræmi við upplýsingar sem þeir fengu í tilraunaaðstæðum. Afdráttarlausar niðurstöður um áhrif sjálfstjórnar fengust ekki í þessari rannsókn.

Results show that respondents were able to answer Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire in accordance with the information provided in the experimental setting. Results on the effect of self-monitoring on faking were inconclusive.
