Of the many factors affecting test validity, ethnicity has received comparatively little attention. This has changed recently with a call for alternative norms or assessment measures that are appropriate for different cultural contexts and for examination of the impact of the variables of culture, ecological demands, primary language, and educational background (Ardila, 1995; Robinson, 1988; Sachdev, 1989; Segall, 1986).
