Universal Citation: OK Admin Code 335:15-13-8

Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

(a) Under no circumstances will the general reputation of a test, its author or its publisher, or casual reports of test utility be accepted in lieu of evidence of validity. Specifically ruled out are:

(1) assumptions of validity based on test names or descriptive labels;

(2) all forms of promotional literature;

(3) data bearing on the frequency of a test's usage;

(4) testimonial statements of sellers, users, or consultations; and

(5) other nonempirical or anecdotal accounts of testing practices or testing outcomes.

(b) Although professional supervision of testing activities may help greatly to insure technically sound and non-discriminatory test usage, such involvement alone shall not be regarded as constituting satisfactory evidence of test validity.
