:You have found only the one specific situation where the psychological test - Rorschach - appears in the public domain in some countries. There is not the need for policies about the copyrighted information, nor is the need present for informations under licences from the publishers of the tests. Persons who violate these will confront already existing policies from the laws. So your policy is not needed. You will maybe not know that test publishers will send their lawyers if judges and courts do not agree to seal up the psychological testing information for the courts case. And will also take the actions in the courts for the publication in media. I have read the wikpedia policy which would cause such to be removed. Your interest in the psychological testing is rather a curiosity, or perhaps only you have the interest in freedom of the informations. I write respectfully.

 | This page in a nutshell: Wikipedia articles should strive to include the breadth and depth of human knowledge without regard to religious, political, or other third party organizations. |
Wikipedia should provide encyclopedic information regardless of concerns about theoretical harm or religious / personal distaste. Examples follow:
1. Tiananmen Square protests of 1989
Suppression of information regarding the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 was and continues to be attempted by the Chinese government.[1] Wikipedia will not bow to pressure to suppress this or other verifiable information of political / social / cultural significance.
2. Psychological test information
Wikipedia should attempt to reflect the contents of the published scientific literature in a language understandable to the general population. This should occur regardless of published statements by health organizations which may be interpreted to limit what information should be generally available.[2] [3] [4]
Wikipedia medical disclaimer shall be viewed as a sufficient disclaimer regarding concerns about the quality, content, and health effects of information. It currently states: "the medical information provided on Wikipedia is, at best, of a general nature and cannot substitute for the advice of a medical professional." This shall not be interpreted to limit the contents of articles within the areas of medicine, psychological, or science.[5][6]
3. Images of religious significance
Mohammad plays an important role in the history of human kind. Images of this prophet will not be suppressed based on religious considerations.[7]
