Educational and psychological testing and assessment are among the most important contributions
of cognitive and behavioral sciences to our society, providing fundamental and significant sources of
information about individuals and groups.
Not all tests are well developed, nor are all testing practices wise or beneficial, but there is extensive evidence documenting the usefulness of well-constructed, well-interpreted tests.
Well-constructed tests that are valid for their intended purposes have the potential to provide substantial benefits for test takers and test users.
Their proper use can result in better decisions about individuals and programs than would result without their use and can also provide a route to broader and more equitable access to education and employment.
The improper use of tests, on the other hand, can cause considerable harm to test takers and other parties affected by test-based decisions.
The intent of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing is to promote sound testing practices and to provide a basis for evaluating the quality of those practices.
The Standards is intended for professionals who specify, develop, or select tests and for those who interpret, or evaluate the technical quality of, test results.
