FULL MEMBERS

Full membership of the ITC is limited to one member organization for each country. The full member is usually the national professional psychological association of that country. Alternatively it may be a national commission or other national body which has been recognized by the national psychological association in that country. Full members must be working towards the following objectives:

  1. to advance professional test development and to raise the quality standards of psychological tests;
  2. to protect the public against the personal and societal consequences of the use of inadequate psycho-diagnostic procedures and of the use of tests by unqualified persons, or in a manner objectionable on scientific or ethical grounds.
