-- ., -__. . . . ,Establlshment has become disillusioned with testing any more than I believe the general public. has. This conference is evidence that the Armed Forces are among the strongest supporters of testing. T!l2 protestors have not caused any detectable eifect in terms of reduced sale8 of testfi or testing ecrvicee, The number of letters from educator6 or the general public (to reputable test publishers and the APA) critfciztcg teats has not increased. Generally, the poFuler pre6e hae not j-pad on the band wagon to foment a public outcry against u3. Apparently, the net effect has been little more than a few booka sold and a little high blood preesure BJXXXI~ psychologists. The latter at least may not be such a bad thing. Some of us need to be aroused. If this is the case, then why should we even bother to consider these self-styled protectors of a tyrannized society? The writings of these critics should make us stop, look, and listen. If we are to avoid future trouble and Improve the state of our nrt and aclence. we must improve the quality of our tests and services. He uwst adhere more etrictly to the ethical standards of our profession. We must give greater attention to the technfcal cha:acterfstice of our teats and criteria. We must continue our ef:orts to expose snd elimfnate the quacks and incompetenta who dwell about the fringe of psychological testing. And we muat improve our communications about testing 4th every segment of our public which we can reach. These cmdnicutions met be technically sound but they also must be written in underatandabl.. English. We might even form a committee withfn this association to draw up a pmphlet of general testing principles. and practices &ich could be diesemfnated within the <strong>Military</strong> Establishment. In conclusion, the basic assumptions of our critics are crroneoue and ftIliscfou8; they are generally baaed on lack of information, aa apparently is the case of Hoffmann, or, more seriously, on a refusal to accept the strong eolpirical evidence showing that fudfvfdurlity can be accurately assessed in such a way as to give better recognition toreal merit than has ever before been the case in our educstional, fnduetrinl, or rillitory lnetitution5. Actually, we know that standardized objective testing is ona of the great success stories of our day. This has been no better pointed out than by Gardner, in his book, Excellence (1961). Psychological testing for the firat tine enables us to look at the many facets of an individual rether than making judgmenta based on the oo-called “lump of dough” doctrine. Now we can truly measure and assess the individuality of each of our military personnel and through careful guidance help each individual realize hts potentialities ae indicated by our peychological . . 178 --_
