Measurement Services Association Questionnaire Results.
Wood, Lewis J.; Gillis, Rod
This paper presents the results of a questionnaire sent to 211 Measurement Services Association members. Sixty-four centers responded. The main purpose of the questionnaire was to find out what hardware and software are used by testing centers throughout the country. Results indicate that 52 institutions use mainframe computers, 50 use microcomputers, and 14 use minicomputers. Fifty-nine use optical scanners. In regard to software, 55 use classroom test scoring programs, 21 use psychological/vocational interest programs, 37 use placement testing programs, 23 use item banking programs, and 28 use programs performing gradebook function. Almost every respondent uses word processing and spreadsheet programs. A list of all respondents and a copy of the questionnaire are appended. (JAZ)
