Abstract
Researchers who use tests developed in countries other than their own are faced with two fundamental problems. Firstly, some items in the test may have cultural-linguistic biases. Secondly, the reference group on which the foreign test norm has been established can be rather dissimilar to the local group if the same test is to be used. These may render the validity of the test results suspect.
