Tests and testing
Test User standard documents
The European Test User Standards for test use in Work and Organizational settings (VERSION 1.92) have been prepared by the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations EFPA and the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychologists EAWOP.
These standards are the outcome of a two-year project undertaken jointly by EFPA and EAWOP during the period 2003 to 2005.They have undergone minor changes and modifications since having been accepted by the EFPA General Assembly in Granada, July 2005, as the basis for further development.
Comments should be addressed to the Convenor of the EFPA Standing Committee on Tests and Testing :
Prof Dave Bartram at dave.bartram@shlgroup.com.
Introduction to the Standards
What is the purpose of these standards?
The standards have been developed to provide the basis for qualifications in test use.They are intended to provide a general European level ‘benchmark’ against which local national qualification systems can be compared or audited.
It should be noted that they are a reference document and not intended to be ‘read’ like a book. In their present form they are, intentionally, repetitive in terms of content. It is assumed that they will provide the source for more user-friendly documents as work progresses on their implementation.
EFPA Test Review form and notes, version 3-42-EU - version September 2008
For details of the Review Procedure and any local modifications to the review content and criteria, consult you local Psychological Association.The present document provides for procedures that employ two reviewers for each test review, with a third person to oversee the review (the ‘Consulting Editor’) and a Senior Editor who is responsible for ensuring uniformity of application of the criteria across reviews.
Local arrangements may result in some of these functions being combined.
EFPA recommends that the evaluations in these reviews are directed towards qualified practising test users, though they should also be of interest to academics and specialists in psychometrics and psychological testing.
This update (Sep 2008) contains corrections to some errors in section numbering (the final two sections are now labelled 8 and 9 rather than 7 and 8). The content remains the same as in the former 2005 Version 3.41.
