Abstract
It's unclear why some infrequency items seem to assess careless responding more effectively than do others. In a sample of undergraduate students (N = 387) we found that an item’s flag rate and standard deviation of responses accounted for 83.6% of variance in the construct validity of 51 infrequency items.
