Guidelines for Computer-Based Tests and Interpretations
⭐️ APA’s Committee on Professional Standards and Committee on Psychological Tests and Assessment (1986) published the Guidelines for Computer-Based Tests and Interpretations, a set of 31 guidelines aimed at both test developers, to ensure the development of quality CBT products, and end users of these products, to ensure proper administration and interpretation of computer-based psychological tests (Schoenfeldt, 1989)
⭐️ Then, the International Test Commission gave more
attention to CBT in its own set of CBT guidelines, which adopted in 2005, titled the International Guidelines on Computer-Based and Internet-Delivered Testing. The general aim of the International Test Commission guidelines is to recommend standards for good practices for development and use of CBTs.
⭐️ The International Test Commission guidelines are organized along the following recommendations:
(a) Give due regard to the technological issues in computer-based and Internet testing, (
b) attend to quality issues
in CBT and Internet testing,
(c) provide appropriate levels of control over CBT and Internet testing,
d) make appropriate provision for security and safeguarding privacy in CBT and Internet testing.
