To provide education regarding the critical importance of test security for neuropsychological and psychological tests, and to establish recommendations for best practices for maintaining test security in forensic, clinical, teaching, and research settings. Previous test security guidelines were not adequately specified.
Neuropsychologists practicing in a broad range of settings collaborated to develop detailed and specific guidance regarding test security to best ensure continued viability of neuropsychological and psychological tests. Implications of failing to maintain test security for both the practice of neuropsychology and for society at large were identified. Types of test data that can be safely disclosed to nonpsychologists are described.
Specific procedures can be followed that will minimize risk of invalidating future use of neuropsychological and psychological measures.
Clinical neuropsychologists must commit to protecting sensitive neuropsychological and psychological test information from exposure to nonpsychologists, and now have specific recommendations that will guide that endeavor.
为了提供关于神经心理和心理测验的测试安全性的重要性的教育，并为在法医、临床、教学和研究环境中维护测试安全性制定最佳实践建议。之前的测试安全指南不够具体。
在广泛的实践环境中工作的神经心理学家合作制定了关于测试安全性的详细和具体的指导，以确保神经心理和心理测验的持续可行性。确定了未能维护测试安全性对神经心理学实践和整个社会的影响。描述了可以安全地向非心理学家披露的测试数据类型。
可以遵循特定的程序，将未来使用神经心理和心理测量的风险降到最低。
临床神经心理学家必须承诺保护敏感的神经心理和心理测验信息不被非心理学家接触，现在有具体的建议来指导这一努力。
