Why High-Quality Psychometry Training Matters

---

Valid and ethical standardized testing is essential to accurately conduct clinical assessments. Psychologists take the information gathered from psychometric testing, together with a range of other clinical information, to formulate diagnoses and make recommendations for clients. Therefore, it is critically important that standardized testing be completed by a trained professional who understands the precision required for accurate and valid testing. Even small deviations from standardized procedures can affect the validity of results. As such, psychometric testing can greatly impact diagnostic conclusions and potentially have significant impacts on the lives of clients.
