As effective as the “evidence- based- practice” is, it does not cover all ranges of cases, examinees, situations, and contaminations which may carry a misleading affect. The purpose of this paper is to draw examiners attention to the existing potential hazards surrounding a protocoled standard of practice and suggest solutions in order to alter the test to the examinee (“tailor made” style test) rather than alter the examinee to the test (“one size fits all” style test).enUznanie autorstwa-Użycie niekomercyjne-Bez utworów zależnych 3.0 PolskaStandard of PracticeTest ProtocolTest’s influencing factorsContaminating factorsPrawoArtykuł2380-055010.2478/ep-2024-0006
