What is PARiConnect?
PARiConnect is a secure Internet platform that enables users to administer various PAR assessments and receive reports online. Assessment results can be obtained in three different ways: through administration of an on-screen, in-office assessment; through an on-screen, remote administration using the client’s computer; or through hand-entry of responses already obtained from a paper-and-pencil administration.
PARiConnect provides similar reports as those offered by the desktop versions of the software, including score reports, interpretive reports, and other types of reports, depending on the assessment administered and the options available. Reports are initially generated on-screen, but may also be printed or saved to your desktop. The version of the report saved to your desktop is a Rich Text Format (RTF) and may be edited in a word processing program such as Microsoft® Word, enabling you to add your own notes and observations to the report.
You must create a PARiConnect Log In ID and password when you establish your PARiConnect account.
How do I obtain access to PARiConnect?
If you already have an email address and password at parinc.com, please review the Account Supervisor Agreement, then call 1.855.856.4266. A friendly Customer Support Specialist will help you set up your PARiConnect account. If you are a new PAR customer, or you are an existing PAR customer who doesn’t have a parinc.com account, please register first. When you have finished creating your parinc.com account, please review the Account Supervisor Agreement, and then call 1.855.856.4266. A friendly Customer Support Specialist will help you set up your PARiConnect account.
Are there any setup or yearly licensing fees or costs?
No. With PARiConnect, you only pay for the administrations and reports you need. i-Admins and Reports are sold in minimum quantities of five, so you can try a new test without a large initial investment.
Is PARiConnect secure? Is my client data safe?
PARiConnect was designed with HIPAA compliance in mind. At PAR, we understand that laws are changing, technology is changing—and, as a result, your practice has to evolve. The safekeeping of sensitive information is extremely important to us. In fact, it has been at the top of our list as we designed PARiConnect. Your transmissions are protected with TLS 1.2 encryption, and all internal PARiConnect communications are performed behind a firewall. In addition, PAR is EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework compliant, certified to adhere to privacy and security principles outlined by the U.S. Department of Commerce. All systems are hosted at a Flexential data center that is centrally located to our U.S. customer base. For more information on the security credentials of this data center, visit this page.
What are the administration options?
Four administration options are offered: on-screen, remote, paper-and-pencil, and digital record form.
On screen: PARiConnect is a client-centric system, so it’s as simple as setting up a client file and assigning the appropriate assessment to your client. After administration, you’ll be able to review and verify his or her responses and view the report. Print reports or download them to your desktop for easy editing.
Remote administration: The system allows you to e-mail an invitation to complete an assessment to anyone with an e-mail address. Once the client receives the invitation, he or she simply clicks on the link in the e-mail and takes the test. You’ll be notified immediately after the administration is complete. Quickly verify responses and run, edit, and print reports.
Paper-and-pencil: PARiConnect enables you to easily populate test forms with item responses and quickly get reports. Use your keyboard or mouse to enter item responses on a screen that replicates the look of the printed form; a unique magnifying box allows you to “zoom in” on each item row for easier viewing. There’s no need to purchase i-Admins for tests you don’t administer using PARiConnect—you just pay for the reports you generate.
Digital Record Form (Coming Soon!): Revolutionary way to administer performance-based tests by eliminating the shuffling of the paper record form pages with built in rules preventing errors in administration and scoring. Rely on the DRF within PARiConnect to streamline administration.
What kind of system should I have?
PARiConnect requires a Windows®-based or Mac desktop, laptop computer, or tablet with an Internet connection and the latest version Chrome™, Safari®, Firefox®, or Edge™. For tablets, we support iPadOS 17 or higher and Android 15 or higher. A standard iPad is required for valid on-screen administration of the RAIT or TOGRA, and recommended for Digital Record Forms.
A word processing program (e.g., Microsoft Word) is required to download and edit PARiConnect-generated reports. If using an iOS device, a word-processing app or a PDF app (e.g., Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat Reader) are necessary to view and generate PARiConnect reports. Would like to get this updated as soon as we can to be consistent with the posted DRF technical requirements.
What is the difference between a Score Report and an Interpretive Report?
Score reports provide scoring and validity information only. Interpretive reports provide scoring and validity information plus in-depth descriptions of assessment results.
What tests are currently available on PARiConnect? When will other tests be added?
To view the current list of products available on PARiConnect, please visit PARiConnect. New assessments are being added on an ongoing basis.
How can I order more i-Admins or Reports?
Additional uses can be ordered directly through parinc.com or by phone or email. If you will be ordering via phone or email, please reference the customer number and the name of the PARiConnect Account Supervisor so we can be sure to properly assign the purchased uses. You can also initiate a reorder of Admins and Reports directly within PARiConnect from the “Assess” screen or from the View Inventory link on the home screen.

How do I change the account supervisor associated with my PARiConnect account?
Click the play button below to watch the short video on How to Change an Account Supervisor in PARiConnect:
How can my organization change the Account Supervisor?
PAR Customer Support will need to speak with the new Account Supervisor to verify their qualifications. We will also need a letter requesting the change printed on company letterhead. You can print this letter on your company’s letterhead and email it to cs@parinc.com with the required information.
If the supervisor currently designated on your PARiConnect account has left your organization or otherwise changed roles you can request that we assign another user the Supervisor role on your existing PARiConnect account. To process this change request, a couple of steps are needed:
1.) We must receive a letter on your company letterhead explaining your request. PAR can provide a letter template for this purpose, so please Contact Us to obtain the template or you can contact us directly when signed into PARiConnect at https://app.pariconnect.com/Help, simply click “Email Us” to request the letter template to initiate the change request.
2.) Once you send the signed letter to us, we will reach out to the new account supervisor via email to confirm their qualification details and acceptance of the responsibilities of the account supervisor role.
Once both steps are completed, we will process the change of Supervisor on your account and notify the new Supervisor the change has been made.

Can I re-run a report for the same client and test administration without using a report counter?
Yes, you can regenerate reports without depleting your report inventory. Although PARiConnect requires you to purchase report uses for each type of report for each instrument assessed, you can generate the same report multiple times using different norms or demographics without using up an additional report—and regenerated reports are saved individually, not overwritten on the original.
Can the Account Supervisor limit which parts of PARiConnect can be accessed by other users on the account?
PARiConnect can be customized for one of three types of users, as described below. Each type of user has a different level of permissions and therefore a different level of access to specific screens, paths, and sensitive client information.
Supervisor
- Purchase i-Admins and report uses
- Allocate i-Admins and report uses across organization

Does the system offer any data verification options?
Yes. PARiConnect offers two options for verifying item responses quickly and easily. In the manual method, you re-enter item responses in a second column; the system marks any variances and allows you to correct the data. In the automatic method, the computer audibly reads back the client responses item by item so you can verify their accuracy and correct any mistakes.
What is PAR’s position on telemedicine and remote assessment administration?
Telemedicine, also known as telehealth or telepractice, uses telecommunication technology (such as telephones, Internet sites, videoconference sites, social media, and e-mail) to deliver communications to and from practitioners and patients.
Psychologists should use their best judgment when determining if and when assessment tools are appropriate for use in the practice of telemedicine. Further, they should check local laws and regulations specific to their geographic location and should refer to APA's guidelines for telepsychology and their professional associations for guidance.
