Opvattingen van psychologen over tests en testgebruik tussen 2000 en 2020 Resultaten efpa-enquête

This paper describes the results of a survey on the opinions on tests and testing practices of Dutch professional psychologists in 2000, 2009, and 2020. The survey is an initiative of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) and is administered Europe-wide. For each year, scores on five scales were computed, being Incorrect test use, Regulations on testing, Testing by the Internet (for this scale only data is available from 2009 on), Appreciation of tests, and Knowledge in relation to tests and test use. The scores of four out of the five scales showed to be rather stable since 2009. Only the opinion with respect to Testing by the Internet was slightly more positive in 2020. The implications of the results are discussed.
