standards, and they are classified according to the A-B-C grid recommended by APA
According to the international standards and to the APA regulations, each instrument is designated as
A, B or C and each of these types requires a certain type of qualification in order to be acquired.

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION
A series of factors are considered when assessing he qualification level for each person, besides their
professional training.
It is taken into consideration the quality of being a member of a professional organization with intense
activity in the field of psychology or counselling, the quality of being employed by a company which has been
active in this domain, the candidate’s general testing and psychometrical experience and their purposeful use of
the test.
Those people who do not have the necessary qualification must be accounted for by a trained
psychologist, who shall take full responsibility for the use of these tests.
3. THE BASC-2 TEST
The BASC 2 Behavioral and Emotional Screening System is a multidimensional
and multimethodical system, used in assessing the behaviour and self image for
children and young people between 2 and 25 years old.
The BASC-2 test approaches personality in a variety of methods.
This test consists of the following assessment methods, which may be
used either individually or in any of their possible combinations:
• Two assessment scales, one for the teachers (The Teacher Rating Scale,
TRS) and one for the parents (The Parent Rating Scale, PRS). Each
scale is divided into several age groups. With the help of these scales,
various descriptions can be collected regarding the noticeable part of the
child’s behaviour. A self-report scale ( Self-Report of Personality, SRP), by means of which the child
or the young adult can describe their own emotions or self perceptions.
• A structured interview, regarding the history of the behavior of the assessed person (Structured
Developmental History, SDH).
• An observation sheet which can be used to record and classify the behaviour which was directly
noticeable in class (Student Observation System, SOS).
