algorithm was used to combine the responses for each of the 17 behaviors into a 7-item scale. Each of the 7 adult antisocial personality disorder criteria was considered present if the sum of the frequency of the behaviors indexing it was greater than or equal to 3 (i.e., often). A subsample of 166 participants from the 2004-2007 study was selected for a retest study approximately three months after the main assessment.4 The three-month test-retest reliability for the 7-item AAB scale was r= .75 (Pearson correlation coefficient), and there were no sex differences in the test-retest reliability of AAB, t(164) = -0.75, p = .46.
