The psychological and educational assessment reports, forms, and hand-scoring materials offered on this website are designed to assist professionals who are specially trained and experienced in the appropriate professional use of these assessment instruments.

Because of the sensitive nature of psychological testing materials, Pearson Assessments has established qualification guidelines that restrict the sale and distribution of our testing products. Pearson Assessments will provide these instruments to those professionals who provide us with credentials regarding licensure, education, affiliation, and/or training and experience that support the customer's stated ability to use the materials for their intended purposes and to administer, score, and interpret psychological tests. In setting these guidelines, Pearson Assessments attempts to reflect the intent of the ethical guidelines established by the American Psychological Association, the Association of Test Publishers, and the American Counseling Association, as well as those published in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing by the American Educational Research Association, the American Psychological Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Education.
