These authors [3] mentioned, with respect to SIMS cutoff of > 14 points, that “research (e.g., Clegg et al., 2009 [16]) has found that non-feigning clients often exceed this cut score.” Rogers and his research team suggested that the cutoff for SIMS total score might need to be set as high as > 44 points to improve specificity, when dealing ...

Zanarini's initial validation study in 2003 found the instrument to be both sensitive (81%) and specific (85%) in correctly classifying individuals when using a cutoff score of 7. For those 25 years old or younger, the study reported a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 93%.
