Definition
- As a young professor at Rutgers University in the 1930s, Oscar Krisen Buros was alarmed by many of the practices being used to develop and market tests. Buros believed that tests should be supported by firm foundations of statistical methodologies (referred to as reliability and validity) and by appropriate norming procedures that matched the specific population being tested.
