FAQ

What is IRB?

IRB is an abreviation of "Institutional Review Board" and it refers to any committee or board tasked with oversight of research conducted on human subjects. Your IRB may ask about your planned testing to determine if the instrument being used protects the right of your test takers. Insight Assessment can provide you with our privacy policy statement to include in the information that you may need to submit to your IRB to obtain permission to test your sample. The IRB can most easily examine the test instrument itself through our online system.
