Description
Psychological tests are essential tools that help psychologists make decisions about people. The Board of Assessment (BoA) of the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations (EFPA) has various projects aimed at improving tests and testing practices across Europe and beyond. In this presentation, we share two BoA projects. The first is the BoA’s flagship project, which focuses on tests: the Test Review Model. This model provides a systematic framework for reviewing and assessing psychological tests based on several criteria (materials, reliability, validity, norms, etc.). It has recently been updated to incorporate aspects of digital assessments, inclusivity, and diversity, among others. The second project focuses on test user standards, defining the competencies and skills required to ensure proper test use. In this presentation, we will highlight the main features of these projects, emphasizing their impact and the challenges of implementation.
