Licensing of home inspectors only sets a minimum standard.  Much like being up to code, any less would be illegal.  Under this low bar, imaginary people, children, psychics (who claim to "sense" if a house is OK), pets, and even the blind can be home inspectors.  Other home inspection associations have no entrance requirements and, worse, encourage their associates to go out and perform actual inspections for poor, unsuspecting consumers as the only way to achieve full membership.  InterNACHI finds this practice unconscionable.  We turn down more than 60% of the inspectors who want to join InterNACHI because they can't pass our exam, and we turn down 90% of those left because they can't fulfill our membership requirements.
