The CAP has three validity scales:<br> Lie, Random Response, and Inconsistency scales that are combined to derive three validity indices: Faking Good, Faking Bad, and Random Response.<br><br> The CAP Abuse scale consists of 77 items randomly distributed throughout the questionnaire. The internal reliability of the Abuse scale is high, with KR-20 correlation coefficients ranging from .92 to .96 and good temporal stability of .91 and .83 for 1-day and 1-month intervals, respectively.<br>
