Background\n\n·The Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology(EPPP)is maintained by the Association of State andProvincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB)ExaminationCommittee,which is a non-profit association comprisedof psychology licensing boards in the United States andCanada.  \n·EPPP test development has focused extensively oncontent validity,but concern has been raised that theremay be a lack of attention to the need for broadervalidation(Callahan et al.,2020;Sharpless &Barber,2009).  \n·As described by the American Educational ResearchAssociation(2014),\"Sound testing practice involvescareful monitoring of all aspects of the assessmentprocess and appropriate action when needed to preventundue disadvantages or advantages for somecandidates caused by factors unrelated to the constructbeing assessed”(p.169).  \n# Aim\n\nThe current study sought to examine whethercandidates'scores on the EPPP are systematicallyinfluenced by non-competency factors such asdemographics or generalized test-taking abilities.  \n# Hypotheses\n\n1.Pre-internship competency,as documented by ratingson the Practicum Evaluation Form(PEF),will besignificantly positively correlated with EPPP scores.  \n2.Competency ratings at the end of internship,asdocumented by ratings on the Internship EvaluationForm(IEF),will be significantly positively correlated withEPPP scores.  \n3.Early career post-licensure self-appraisals ofcompetency will be significantly positively correlatedwith EPPP scores.  \n4.EPPP scores will be more strongly associated withmeasures of emotional intelligence and ratings ofprofessional competencies than measures of moregeneral neurocognitive functioning(nonverbal reasoningskills,working memory,attention,task switching ability,cognitive flexibility,verbal memory,and episodicmemory).  \n# The EPPP:An Examination of Criterion Validity\n\nSamantha Saldana,M.S.,Jennifer L.Callahan,Ph.D.,ABPP,&Randall J.Cox,Ph.D.University of North Texas  \n# Methods and Materials\n\nParticipants:Early career alumni of a doctoral program inclinical psychology(N=36).  \nMeasures:In addition to demographic information,the  \nfollowing measures were obtained:  \n·EPPP scores(scale of 200 to 800)  \n·Theoretically Convergent Measures:  \n·Archival Practicum Evaluation Form(PEF)ratingsof competency by doctoral practicum supervisors,Intern Evaluation Form(IEF)ratings ofcompetency from internship supervisors,&post-licensure self-appraisals of competency.  \n·Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional IntelligenceTest (MSCEIT)scores.  \n·Theoretically Discriminant Measures  \n·Scores on the following TMB NeuropsychologyToolkit subtests:Matrix Reasoning (abstractreasoning),Digit Span (span of  \napprehension/working memory),Trail Making(processing speed/working memory)and VerbalPaired Associates(memory)  \n·Openness to Experience as measured by theInternational Personality Item Pool (IPIP).  \n·Costs associated with use of the study measures werefunded via a gift from the Lupe Murchison Foundation tothe second author.  \n# Results\n\n·EPPP scores were significantly associated withethnicity,with White individuals scoring higher than allothers.  \n·Emotional intelligence and PEF ratings were found tobe significantly related,as expected of convergentmeasures of competency.  \n·However,neither competency evaluations nor emotionalintelligence scores were significantly associated withEPPP scores.  \n# References &Contact Information\n\n·American Educational Research Association,American Psychological Association,&&National Council on Measurement in
