摘要

English reading proficiency represents a potentially masked but critical determinant of test validity in disability assessments. Clinicians should adopt routine English literacy screening in cases of uncertainty whilst test publishers should consistently provide explicit reading level guidelines in manuals. By incorporating objective English literacy screening, clinicians can curtail risks associated with subjective judgment, claimant impression management, and superficial conversational fluency. Such clinical practice aligns with cultural competence, protects against false attributions of non-credible responding, and ultimately ensures more valid and ethical psychological examination.
