Data from 64 and 53 male college students in two surveys indicate that the reliabilities are in the .30s and rather low. Besides, the Dutch Mach V is not insensitive to a social desirability response-set; correlations in the .30s were found with a Social Desirability scale. Some solutions are mentioned.
