Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to present the rules of linking the standardized tests, used by psychologists and pedagogues in diagnosis for education, with ICF codes and qualifiers. Despite the very thorough description of the linking rules in the subject literature, there are important difficulties and challenges in creating functional profiles basing on the ICF. In this paper, apart from from a detailed description of the linking rules, such problems are are addressed as: incomplete equivalence between data resulting from psychological/pedagogical measurement and ICF definitions, differences in languages (pedagogical/psychological concepts and ICF dictionary), and an interpretative orientation that produces the subjectivism in mapping test results into ICF codes.
