| pan is designed for professionals who use tests and assessment products in their work. Since
these instruments have differing qualifications for use, registered users are assigned a User Qualification
Level based upon their education, training, and experience.
About User Qualification Levels
While pan does distribute some Level D (Non-Controlled) instruments
that are available without specific qualification, most of the
business-related and human resource products are Level C instruments.
Level B and Level A are typically reserved for clinical
instruments (though some personality and critical thinking
tests are categorized as Level B by their publishers).
