ABSTRACT
The test or questionnaire should be administered in standardised conditions in order to minimise the effects of external factors on test reliability and performance. As a rule, no one other than the candidate should be in the room during testing. It is essential that the candidate be engaged in the task and be motivated to follow the instructions and complete it as accurately as possible. It is important for the administrator to maintain a positive attitude to the testing. If a candidate has a physical impairment that interferes with his or her ability to complete the test then the testing environment must be accommodated to the candidate's needs. When constructing mainstream personality tests, every effort should be made to reduce the effects of social desirability and impression management. The test specification for the Giotto test of integrity is a mapping of the ideas of Prudentius onto the major integrity traits provided by the integrity testing literature.
