This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The coronavirus-2019 pandemic was declared a national emergency in the United States on March 13, 2020 The disruptions resulting from subsequent unprecedented mitigation efforts have limited and, in some cases, eliminated the ability of psychologists to meet in person with their patients, clients, and examinees This has led to a broad and sudden reliance on synchronous (live) videoconferencing (also commonly referred to as telehealth, telepsychological practice, and telepractice) to deliver clinical services A vital component of psychological practice involves the administration of psychological testing, particularly in clinical settings and specialties that rely heavily on the use of assessment instruments Remote administration of psychological testing presents challenges that cannot be ignored, even in a crisis, without risking the violation of ethical standards and without compromising the reliability and interpretability of test results and the security of test instruments With these considerations in mind, we provide practical guidance for remote test administration, using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory instruments (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement Public Significance Statement-Social distancing requirements resulting from the coronavirus-2019 pandemic have led to a broad and sudden reliance on synchronous (live) videoconferencing (also commonly referred to as telehealth, telepsychological practice, and telepractice) to deliver clinical services A vital component of psychological practice involves the administration of psychological testing, particularly in clinical settings and specialties that rely heavily on the use of assessment instruments This article provides psychologists guidance for remote administration of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory instruments that can be adapted and applied to the administration of other self-report measures (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
