Advancing Human Assessment: The Methodological, Psychological and Policy Contributions of ETS

An edited volume on the history of the scientific contributions to educational research, psychology, and psychometrics made by the staff members of a nonprofit organization, Educational Testing Service (ETS), in Princeton, NJ, begs the ques-tions: Why this self-inspection and who might benefit from that?The answer can be found in current developments in these fields. Many of the advances that have occurred in psychometrics can be traced to the almost 70 years of work that transpired at ETS, and this legacy is true also for select areas in statis-tics, the analysis of education policy, and psychology.
