Behavior Data Systems, Ltd. (www.bdsltd.com) and the tests offered by its subsidiaries Risk & Needs Assessment, Inc. (www.riskandneeds.com) and Professional Online Testing Solutions, Inc. (www.online-testing.com) can be administered in two ways:
1. On 3½" diskettes or USB flash drives. Diskettes or USB flash drives come preloaded with 25 or 50 tests, whichever the test user prefers. Visit either www.bdsltd.com or www.riskandneeds.com for more information.
2. Over the internet. These tests are available over the internet on our Online Testing platform www.online-testing.com. Tests can be purchased one at a time or in any quantity desired. Tests are available online 24/7.
Whether tests are on diskettes, USB flash drives or provided online (over the internet) the test reports use the same format, providing the information you need in an easy to understand layout.
All tests are evidence based with impressive reliability, validity and accuracy.
The goal from the beginning has been to develop practical, helpful, psychometrically sound and affordable assessment instruments or tests. Helpful in terms of providing useful information, psychometrically sound with regards to reliability, validity and accuracy, and practical in the sense that tests can be completed in a reasonable amount of time and are affordable.
