    hypothetically... a psychologist administers an ability test (verbal, spatial etc.). Then a client wants a copy of their script, not just the scores, but a list of their marking script with all the right and wrong answers.
    Are they entitled to it?

    No. Cognitive assessment forms (e.g. WAIS-IV, WISC-V, Stanford Binet 5 etc) are closed forms which means no-one, including the person being tested, is entitled to see them.

    What's the logic behind it?

    theyre tightly regulated so you cant use them without paying.

    Generally, to buy a psychological test, you have to prove to the company that you are sufficiently qualified to use them. It's not just a matter of marking/scoring them, its a matter of being able to interpret the results. I also sign a user's licence, to say that they are for academic/clinical purposes only, and only for me to use them.

    So no, I can't just hand them out willy-nilly; there's no point to that.

    There was a claim on the Late Late Show the other night that assessment forms for CAMHS are marked by administrators, not clinicians. Is this true?

    I also saw that show!

    Are the admin trainee psychologists?

    Does it matter who does the math ? Once the outcomes are passed onto relevant person immediately ?

    It's the iinterpretation of results that requires the education. Anyone could tot up the scores - but it's interpreting the scores that can be a headache. Sometimes the results seem contradictory - sometimes there are confounding variables that may have been picked up on clinical interview - sometimes the results are entirely unexpected - sometimes people take questions to mean something entirely differently to what was intended.
