A psychometrist is working with a 14-year-old examinee whose parents have provided legal consent for the evaluation. During the initial rapport-building, the adolescent clearly states, "I don't want to be here and I'm not doing any tests." What is the psychometrist's MOST ethical course of action?

Proceed with testing because the parents have provided legal consent. Acknowledge the adolescent's feelings, explore their concerns, and explain the evaluation process before seeking their willingness to participate (assent). Inform the adolescent that their participation is mandatory for their parents to get the needed information. Cancel the appointment immediately and inform the parents of their child's refusal.

Correct Answer:

Acknowledge the adolescent's feelings, explore their concerns, and explain the evaluation process before seeking their willingness to participate (assent).
