Approved by APA Council of Representatives, February 2025

This resolution establishes policy on APA's position and role in protecting the validity of psychological testing so that psychological tests remain valid and reliable assessments and public health, well-being, safety, and equitable access to these services for marginalized communities are bolstered.

APA's position is that fair and reasonable transparency and access to psychological test data and test materials in legal proceedings is best achieved and scientific validity best preserved when psychologists share test materials and test data with other psychologists and other experts properly trained in test administration and interpretation who have a legal and ethical obligation to protect test data and test materials.
