Purchaser Qualifications
User / Purchaser Agreement
Test security is vitally important because Insight Assessment measurement tools are used for a variety of high stakes projects. Purchaser qualifications and restrictions on the use of Insight Assessment testing tools have been established to protect the integrity of the performance funding, personnel evaluation, outcomes assessment, program evaluation and research projects relying on the Insight Assessment testing instruments.
The capacity of the user to correctly administer the testing instruments and to correctly interpret the data and scale scores is equally important for the quality of the results. Thus Insight Assessment reserves the right to discontinue services in the event that there is reason to be concerned that doing otherwise would compromise the security of a measurement tool.
