The author of the PDS (Paulhus, 1999) advises that T- scores of over 70 or under 30, especially under “high demand” conditions, warrant closer examination to determine the validity of the results. Tables 12 and 13 provide the results of the PDS for 968 offenders completing this measure during the period of the pilot. Eleven percent of respondents had T scores over 70 for Impression Management suggesting that they could have been deliberately presenting themselves in a favourable light thus possibly denying problems. The Self Deception Scale result suggests that about 20% of offenders have a tendency to unconsciously promote a favourable impression. Table 13 demonstrates that non-Aboriginal offenders compared to Aboriginal offenders were more likely to have Tscores greater than 70 on the Impression Management subscale (χ 2 (1) = 13.77, p < .001) suggesting responses influenced by a desire to present oneself in a positive light. The difference between non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal offenders on the Self-Deceptive Enhancement subscale was not significant (χ 2 (1) = 0.92, p = .338). Altogether these results
