Free RBT Ethics Quiz (Task List 3.0 & Latest Standards)

The RBT Test Content Outline (3rd Edition), commonly referred to as Task List 3.0, sets the newest standard for Registered Behavior Technicians. Ethical conduct is the foundation of this certification.

Violating the latest RBT Ethics Code can lead to the revocation of your certification. This practice quiz focuses strictly on the most current ethical standards, ensuring you are prepared for the exam and your career.

Latest Ethical Standards (Task List 3.0)

The new standards emphasize clear professional boundaries and strict adherence to the Scope of Competence. Here are the key areas you must master:

1. Dual Relationships (Multiple Relationships)

This remains a critical area in the latest ethics code.

• The Rule: You cannot have a personal relationship with a client or their family while working with them.
• Violation Examples: Babysitting for a client on weekends, accepting a friend request on social media from a parent, or inviting a client’s family to your personal parties.

2. The “No Gift” Policy

The latest code is very specific about conflicts of interest.

• The Rule: RBTs should not accept monetary gifts or gift cards.
• Why? Gifts can blur the professional line and create a feeling of debt.
• Best Practice: If a family offers a gift, politely decline by saying, “Thank you so much, but our ethical code prevents me from accepting gifts.”

3. Social Media & Privacy

In the age of Instagram and TikTok, the RBT Ethics Code is strict.

• The Rule: Do not share any client information, photos, or videos on your personal social media accounts. Even if the parent gives permission, it is often considered a violation of professional boundaries and privacy (HIPAA).

4. Supervision Requirements

• You must be supervised for a minimum of 5% of the hours you provide behavior-analytic services each month.
• It is your responsibility (along with your supervisor) to ensure this minimum is met. Failure to meet this requirement means you cannot practice.

5. Self-Reporting (30 Days)

You must report specific events to the BACB within 30 days, including:

• Any violation of the ethics code.
• Any legal charges, arrests, or investigations.
• Any change in your name, address, or email.
