I chose your reflections to respond to because I felt that when I read your post that was exactly how I saw this situation as well. These assessments are not tools to be used by anyone. They should be used by professionals who have the training and knowledge to understand the specific assessment. On the other hand practicing counselors should be able to do assessments if they possess all the qualifications. They have to follow all the same guidelines and ethics and graduate from an accredited school in order to get licensed to practice.
The things I found most interesting about your reflection were you brought emphasis to the fact of not only having the knowledge but making sure that when giving the assessment that it is in the right environment.
