In fact, a lot of psychological testing have indicators that can tell a psychologist whether the person taking the test is trying to manipulate it (especially tests like the MMPI-2). I think a person can certainly try to have a test come out a certain way, but in most cases, I think such an attempt with be detected -- either by the person giving you the test (if it's an interactive test), or by the test itself.
