There are at least two implications of this decision: (1) More colleges and universities will feel justified in dropping standardized tests (e.g., SAT, ACT, etc.), thus, increasing the reliance on other measures of academic abiliity and decreasing the need for standardized tests and (2) If ETS, the College Board, and other test providers begin to find their customer basis shrinking, what will happen to them and the psychometricians and statisticians they employ? Will psychological testing become and even more esoteric field of study? What will happen to the undergraduate tests and measurement course? -Mike Palij New York University [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
