SEI Ethical Standards and Practice 3

Question 1

When using the SEI in a cross-cultural context, ethical practice requires that practitioners:

Question 2

If a client requests copies of their raw SEI item responses, the practitioner should:

Accepted Answer

Provide access to the participant's own data while explaining how to interpret it responsibly

Answer

Participants generally have a right to their own assessment data, and practitioners should facilitate informed access.

Question 3

A practitioner is developing an internal company training program and wants to build content around employees' SEI results without their knowledge. This violates which principle?

Accepted Answer

Informed consent and transparency

Answer

Using personal assessment data without participants' knowledge or consent is a direct violation of informed consent principles.

Question 4

The Six Seconds model emphasizes 'growth orientation' in ethical debriefs. This means practitioners should frame SEI results as:

Accepted Answer

A developmental snapshot that reveals opportunities for intentional growth

Answer

The SEI is a developmental tool; ethical debriefs emphasize growth potential rather than labeling or limiting the person.

Question 5

Which scenario represents an appropriate dual use of the SEI with full ethical compliance?

Accepted Answer

A coach uses the SEI for development coaching only, clearly communicating this scope to the client

Answer

Restricting use to the agreed purpose and communicating scope clearly preserves both trust and ethical integrity.
