Standard 11.1 Prior to the adoption and use of a published test, the test user should study and evaluate the materials provided by the test developer.

Multiple PerspectivesMultiple Perspectives

• No one assessment should be used in career exploration and career guidance.

• Include other information as well – personality, motivation, preferences, emotional intelligence, etc.

Standard 11.20 In educational, clinical, and counseling settings, a test taker’s score should not be interpreted in isolation; collateral information that may lead to alternative explanations for the examinee’s test performance should be considered.
