Testimonials

"With a B.S. in Psychology, I knew I would be limited in advancing with whatever job I chose in the field. I began working in the Neuropsych field 18 years ago as a “Neuropsych Technician” with the foresight that I would eventually have to go back to school if I wanted to further my career. Thanks to you and the other Board members, with the ever-growing recognition and respect we are gaining as Psychometrists, I make a decent salary (no grad school!) and our department is pushing to increase our position’s pay range even further since we now have four certified Psychometrists! I love my job and am proud of my recent certification and becoming a member of our growing group of Psychometrists around the country! I can’t wait to get involved! Also, thank you so much for all you have done over the years to help Psychometrists become recognized professionals with true credentials."

"I currently work as a speech-language pathologist and my certification has earned me respect with my colleagues as having distinguished knowledge in the area of assessment and psychometrics. Also, being a part of a network of CSPs has allowed me to stay on top of current changes in the field and adjust my evaluations as necessary."

"I can thank my CSP for helping me get this great new job ... in sunny Arizona

Seriously though, the Neuropsychologist who hired me made it very clear that she wanted an experienced psychometrist who had already obtained the CSP. I didn't have to sell her on the credential as she was already aware of it and found that it was valuable from other psychometrists she had worked with. I am no working in an award winning level one trauma and teaching hospital that has an accredited stroke center and is one of the top 5 health systems and a leader in medical education and research. Like many other large (and even smaller) hospitals, it is in the process of building a Neuroscience Institute and I get to be part of that growth. The people are friendly and the are is full of sunshine - all I can say to other psychometrists considering the CSP is - go for it. With Neurosciences becoming a huge portion of American research dollars and focus in the coming years many hospitals are investing in neuropsychology and related services on a higher level than in the past. I do believe psychometric testing services will become even more valuable, and having that expertise will pay off."
