Proctored mode
What exactly is the Proctored mode?
The proctored mode is the supervised, location-independent digital testing of persons. This test format, in which the test person is supervised via camera, enables responsible, secure testing, if on-site testing is not possible.
Why Proctored mode testing?
- The manipulation of test results, by cheating for example, is largely prevented. This ensures a valid and fair result.
- The protection of the test material is important: Tasks of performance tests that are publicly available no longer allow valid and fair psychological assessment:
- the test only measures what it is supposed to measure if the items and thus the solutions, if any, are not known in advance
- the comparison of different test persons becomes unfair if one test person knows the tasks but the other does not
- Observation of behaviour during test processing provides valuable diagnostic information
- Questions during the instruction phases (e.g. due to difficulties in understanding) can be answered immediately
- According to DIN 33430, unattended testing should only be used as screening - i.e. only to eliminate candidates who do not meet the requirements.

SCHUHFRIED is the synonym for high scientific quality
We can guarantee this quality for tests in Proctored mode by ensuring that the tests are actually supervised. For this reason, we ask you to commit to this when you send an invitation in Proctored mode in VTS online.
This means for you that ...
- you never pass on the test link to the test person before a video connection is established.
- you ensure supervision of the subject and the screen throughout the test.
- you do not use tests for Proctored mode that are intended for Controlled mode.
Available tests and test sets
The following tests and test sets for Proctored mode are currently available in the SCHUHFRIED Marketplace.
Tests in Open mode offer you even more choice
Of course you can also supervise tests in Open mode additionally online, for example to make sure that the test person performs the test himself and does not use any aids.
