STANDARDS FOR TEST DISTRIBUTION IN HUNGARY

 

In Hungary there are no standards issued by a recognised authority (professional association or scientific society) that formally define who can use the tests and how. Since OS Hungary is the first test distributor in the clinical field in Hungary, we OS Hungary defines the standards of professional qualifications for using psychological tests (see the table below). In this respect we mainly follow the criteria set up by other distirbutors and the A, B, C classification defined by the American Psychological Association (APA).
