Multiple Choice

A counselor would be violating test integrity and security when he or she:

Protecting test integrity and security means keeping test content confidential and ensuring standardized administration so results are fair and valid. Showing a client several questions from a standardized test before actually administering it leaks those items and gives that client an unfair preview. That undermines the test’s fairness and validity and violates established testing ethics and procedures. Administering the test and scoring it properly preserves integrity, so it’s not a violation. Forgetting to preserve confidential test materials is a security lapse, which is a problem, but the most direct violation in this scenario is pre-exposing test items to the client. Using the test only with appropriate scoring keys is proper use.
