| Testing touches everyone at some time in their life - it may be for work, for school, for health or for leisure related reasons. Without doubt it is through tests and testing that psychology has its most widespread impact on people's lives. For the 2009 Congress the International Test Commission and EFPA's Standing Committee on Tests and Testing are working together to promote a separate strand of papers, symposia and other events on the theme of Tests and Testing. |
