The totality of circumstances test is used by some states and federal courts to evaluate whether hypnotically-assisted testimony is admissible in court. This test considers whether the administrative procedures and safeguards used to obtain the testimony were acceptable. Therefore, this is the correct choice. The McNaughten standard pertains to the insanity defense, the fair-use test pertains to copyright law, and the per se exclusionary rule pertains to the exclusion of evidence obtained in violation of constitutional rights.
