- Respect for the rights and dignity of all individuals
- Propriety (professional conduct and integrity)
- Integrity (honesty, fairness, and accuracy)
Principle of Propriety
- The Principle of Propriety includes avoiding conflicts of interest, professional misconduct, and ensuring professional competence.

- Integrity includes avoiding misrepresentation, misinterpretation, and misinformation in testing.
- The Justice ethical standard ensures fairness and justice in testing and assessment practices.
Informed Consent and Feedback

- Psychologists have the ethical responsibility of providing feedback of assessment results to clients in a clear and timely manner.
Delegation and Test Administration

- When delegating test administration to non-psychologists, psychologists remain responsible for oversight and quality control.
