When colleges and universities called for a new generation of admission tests providing more comprehensive, in-depth information on candidates -- we developed computerized versions of exams, such as the Graduate Record Examinations®, the Graduate Management Admission Test®, and the Test of English as a Foreign Language®, that are individualized for each test taker and capable of measuring abilities not measured by traditional tests.
ETS currently employs approximately 2,300 regular employees, including more than 1,100 professional staff members with training and expertise in education, psychology, statistics, and psychometrics.Additional areas of staff expertise include computer sciences, sociology, and humanities.Nearly 600 staff members have advanced degrees, including 240 who hold doctorates.
