Thanks everyone for telling us about your prior testing experiences. From what we have heard, it sounds like this instrument has been used for a couple years at least. This is purely a guess, but I wonder if they initially gave it after the test and informed parents via the "personality test" info that is currently discussed. Perhaps the questions morphed over time, and no one thought to change the consent (not suggesting this is okay, but understandable). If someone then failed to adequately instruct the proctors that the survey needed to be taken after the test, we could end up where we are, not via any intentional acts, but via a number of small oversights.
Once again, I hope one of the directors of an Explore talent search will post here with some summary of what they have found and propose. Perhaps if you are in touch with a Director via your own inquiries, you could tell them about this discussion thread, provide the url, and encourage them to post. I will do so as well.
