The application of tests in clinical and counseling work, in educational achievement testing, and in personnel selection is discussed. An analysis of the organizations which comprise the testing industry, including the various publishers and developers of tests and also the test scoring organizations, is given. The concept of an assessment system and the definition of its parts are developed in detail. The components of a competent assessment system are defined; also, it is shown how these requirements can assist in the evaluation of any assessment program. (Author/CK)
