Dr. Rogers is a psychologist specializing in personality testing. Before beginning a test battery on his patient, Mrs. Brown, he explains the nature of the tests, how the test data will be used, and to whom the data will be released. Mrs. Brown signs a form confirming that she understands. Which right of test takers does this describe?
Explanation
Answer: A - Informed consent refers to a test taker’s right to know why he or she is being evaluated, how the test will be used, and who, if anyone, will have access to the test results. Test takers must sign an informed consent form before testing. In situations where consent cannot be obtained from the individual being tested, consent may be given by a parent or legal representative.
