Wojciech Oronowicz
Abstract
The problem of sharing psychological tests with non-psychologists concerns the sharing of chosen psychological tools with persons without full psychological education. An analysis of the principles of sharing of psychological tests was attempted. The Workgroup of Psychological Tests of The Polish Psychological Association (Pracownia Testów Psychologicznych Polskiego Towarzystwa Psychologicznego) makes psychological tools available in 4 cathegories, each of which including various psychological tests. Issue of concern is the platform “Epsilon”, which has been recently introduced by The Workgroup of Psychological Tests, a training program, which was supposed to endorse the basics of psychometry, or the possibility to access the psychological test from category “only for psychologists”, available to people with a “doctor of psychology” degree. It is needed to discuss the subject of the use of psychological tests by persons without adequate psychological education. The easy access to the tests by non-psychologists can be harmful to the prestige of the psychological profession.
