Guidelines for professional responsibility examinations

The professional responsibility examination will be scheduled as appropriate but not less than twice a year. The examination shall assess the applicant's knowledge of North Dakota law regulating the practice of psychology or industrial-organizational psychology as well as the applicant's understanding of ethics and standards of practice. Specific questions to be used will be selected at the time of the examination from a pool of questions available for that purpose in either oral or written form. The oral examination will be administered by an examination committee made up of at least two board members and any other licensed psychologist whom the board sees fit to add to the examining committee. The examination committee will use a structured oral examination, will record the applicants' answers, and will discuss the results. The board members serving on the examination committee shall recommend a pass or fail to the board. An examinee passes the examination if the majority of the board members present at the meeting vote to confirm passage.
