Who can administer 1Q tests?

• A. Any person can administer
• B. Only teachers
• C. Only a few licensed professionals can administer.
• D. Only doctors

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that standardized assessments require specialized credentials and training to ensure accurate, reliable, and ethical results. Administering tests like 1Q involves following strict procedures for instructions, timing, and administration, as well as proper scoring and interpretation of results. Only a few licensed professionals have the formal training and licensure to handle these aspects—their education covers test theory, reliability and validity, scoring rubrics, norms, and ethical considerations such as confidentiality, informed consent, and appropriate accommodations. That level of expertise helps prevent errors, misinterpretation, and potential harm, which is why this responsibility is limited to that group.

Other options would risk inconsistent administration or misinterpretation because they imply broad or inappropriate groups handling a standardized assessment—teachers may not have the full training in psychometrics, while general or unqualified individuals lack the required credentials, and doctors may not possess the specific testing knowledge needed for proper administration and interpretation.
