"In this study, we sought to provide empirical data on the utility of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) for the assessment of male batterers. In this study, we also investigated a previously understudied subgroup of batterers, specifically, men who engage in positive impression management. In this study, we conclude that the PAI is a potentially useful instrument in assessing male batterers and provide suggestions for future research."
