A member asked:
Is a cognitive test invalid if self administered if its not designed to be? and would the results be inflated, deflated or simply invalid?

Simply invalid. Such tests are of most value when administered under the strict guidelines that define how the test is done.

Cognitive testing online merely is a screening device as has no validity otherwise. Reliable neuropsychological testing is best done by a trained neuropsychologist face to face with client
