Qualification Requirements for Level 2 Assessments

Because of the sensitive nature of psychological testing and assessment materials, IPAT, Inc. has established test user qualification guidelines that restrict the sale and distribution of our testing products.

IPAT's testing guidelines take into consideration the different testing requirements that professionals encounter in clinical/educational settings compared to human resources and personnel management settings. For example, while clinical psychologists must be extremely skilled in test interpretation as it relates to treatment planning, industrial-organizational psychologists must be equally knowledgeable of regulations such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures and related employment laws.
