Résumé
L’indice de détection de patrons de réponses inappropriés lz (Drasgow, Levine & Williams, 1985) a été appliqué à un test d’habileté en lecture en langue seconde de 64 items soumis à 171 étudiants universitaires. L’objectif était de confronter un rejet intuitif de données de recherche à une élimination suggérée par lz. En outre, lz a été mis à l’épreuve pour détecter 12 participants additionnels ayant répondu par pseudo-hasard. Les résultats suggèrent que, bien que lz détecte efficacement des patrons de réponses aberrants pour de grands groupes et qu’il soit préférable à l’élimination intuitive, cet indice présente des limites pour l’analyse de plus petites matrices de données.

Abstract
With the intent to detect inappropriate response patterns, the lz index (Drasgow, Levine & Williams, 1985) was applied to a 64-item test of second language reading ability administered to 171 university students. Our goal was to compare intuitive rejection of research data to data elimination suggested by lz. In addition, lz was challenged to detect 12 additional participants who had responded by pseudo-chance. Results suggest that although lz detects efficiently aberrant response patterns for large groups and that it proves superior to intuitive rejection, that index has limitations when it comes to analyzing smaller data matrices.

Resumo
O índice de deteção de respostas inapropriadas lz (Drasgow, Levine & Williams, 1985) foi aplicado a um teste de competência de leitura em segunda língua com 64 itens administrado a 171 estudantes universitários. O objetivo era confrontar uma rejeição intuitiva de dados de investigação com uma eliminação sugerida pelo lz. Além disso, lz foi testado para detetar 12 participantes adicionais que responderam de modo pseudo-aleatório. Os resultados sugerem que, apesar de lz detetar eficazmente padrões de respostas aberrantes por grandes grupos e que é preferível à eliminação intuitiva, este índice tem limitações para a análise das matrizes mais pequenas de dados.
