The Buros Center for Testing in the College of Education and Human Sciences has published The Twenty-Second Mental Measurements Yearbook, continuing a significant tradition in educational and psychological assessment.
Since its founding in 1938 by Oscar Krisen Buros, the Mental Measurements Yearbook has served as the premier source of independent evaluations of commercially available tests. Widely used by researchers, practitioners, educators, psychologists, counselors, and other professionals, the publication provides expert reviews that support informed test selection and responsible assessment practices.
“The Mental Measurements Yearbook series remains a cornerstone resource for assessment professionals who depend on high-quality measures,” said Janet Carlson, associate director of the Buros Center for Testing. “Often described as the ‘Consumer Reports of the testing industry,’ the series provides objective, independent evaluations of commercial tests that help users identify and select assessments appropriate for their intended application.”
The Twenty-Second Mental Measurements Yearbook includes reviews of more than 150 new and recently revised assessments spanning education, psychology, health care, counseling, business, law, and management. In addition to detailed professional reviews, the volume provides information on test administration, scoring procedures, intended populations, pricing, and publisher contacts. Comprehensive indexing and an updated directory of test publishers further enhance the publication's value as a professional reference.
Since relocating to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1978, the Buros Center has produced 14 editions of the Mental Measurements Yearbook. The publication reflects the center's enduring commitment to advancing the science and practice of testing and assessment through independent evaluation, scholarship and service.
Housed within the Department of Educational Psychology, the Buros Center for Testing is internationally recognized for its leadership in assessment and measurement. Through its publications, research activities, and outreach efforts, the center continues to support evidence-based assessment practices while strengthening the college's reputation as a leader in educational and psychological research.
