Studies designed to investigate the impact of order of administration on the observed fakability of the GPI and GPP were conducted on two groups of upper-division college Ss. When honest preceded fake instructions, 6 of 8 tests (mean differences between honest and fake administrations) were statistically significant. When fake instructions were administered first, only three of the eight differences were statistically significant. Implications of the findings for previous fakability studies which have not controlled for order of administration were discussed.
