Any problem in disclosing the content of a (comparison question)asked during an exam. A release was received from the examinee to disclose information to the requesting party. I haven't disclosed comparison questions in the past.END..... IP: Logged |

In my opinion, it would depend on the nature of the disclosure. If the disclosure is for a criminal act and you are a law enforcement officer, you will probably be required to do so if it is of a serious nature. If an examinee admits to burglaries from last year, when the test is only for a recent burglary, you can clear some prior crimes. If it is a disclosure to molesting a child, the law will probably require you to act. If it’s a disclosure of hacking up his former wife, well, you’re going to have to do something with that. However, if it is a disclosure of breaking into a home twenty years ago, it probably would not be disclosed. Is this an employment test? In that case, the twenty year old break-in may be important. I don’t know the circumstances of your situation so I really don’t know how I would react. IP: Logged |

I apologize for not being very clear. The examinee signed a release authorizing me to disclose results to Party #1 (P1). P1 is now asking for disclosure of the comparison questions asked during this exam. END..... IP: Logged |

If I understand you, they want the actual comparison questions that you used to be released? Normally,I would not release that information since it is not a part of the relevant issue. And until several years ago, I would only list the relevant questions on my report. However, now in North Carolina, in a criminal case, full disclosure is required. Which means, I am required to provide a list of all questions used during the test. For me, full disclosure his been interpreted to mean just that.....EVERYTHING. Unless the law requires it, I would not disclose the comparison questions. They were not a part of the relevant issue that was to be tested. I assume you are private examiner and you were hired to test a particular issue. If you did that, I would think that you met your obligation. IP: Logged |

Yes, I am a private examiner and the actual questions are being requested in this (civil) examination. I don't care to release these questions as they could likely lead to further inquiries/questions
regarding the examinee's negative behavior. As you know, they wouldn't have anything to do with the relevant issue. Thanks for the feedback. END..... IP: Logged | |
