The Conners 4 is intended for use by qualified professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, or other mental health care providers. Professionals interpreting the Conners 4 must have MHS b-level qualifications, requiring that, at a minimum, they have completed graduate-level courses in tests and measurement at a university or have received equivalent documented training (for more information on MHS qualification levels, go to https://mhs.com/who-can-order/). They must also be familiar with this manual and test standard guidelines, such as the ones provided by the International Test Commission Guidelines (International Test Commission, 2013), as well as those pertinent to their country of practice. For example, in the United States, these guidelines include the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing developed by the American Educational Research Association (AERA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME; AERA, APA, & NCME, 2014). Ideally, users of the Conners 4 will also be members of professional associations that endorse a set of standards for the ethical use of psychological tests.

Although individuals who do not have advanced formal training in psychology or psychometrics can administer and score the Conners 4 by following the procedures outlined in this manual, interpretation should be conducted only by individuals with those qualifications described above.

The Conners 4 qualified user must assume ultimate responsibility for the administration, scoring, and interpretation of any test materials they use. Individuals whose only exposure to testing is through this manual and who do not have b-level qualifications are not qualified interpreters of the Conners 4. The Conners 4 users should adhere to the administration and interpretation portions of this manual to ensure that accepted principles are followed and that best practices are used.
