  • The Buros Center for Testing is an independent, non-profit organization within the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln that continues the mission of its founder, Oscar Krisen Buros, to provide critical reviews of published tests in clinical and educational psychology. It is recognized as a world leader in the review of published tests. Following the founder's death in 1978, his widow Luella Buros moved the center to its current location and expanded Buros' original focus by including coverage of Spanish tests, providing test reviews through academic databases and online download, and more generally advancing the quality of testing. The center maintains a public library of tests published after 1929 and also provides consultation and training related to testing. The Buros Center comprises three distinct units that, together, provide unique products and services for the testing and assessment community. The Test Reviews and Information unit publishes three reference volume series—Mental Measurements Yearbook, Tests in Print, and Pruebas Publicadas en Español: An Index of Spanish Tests in Print—that offer descriptive information and critical appraisals of commercially available tests. The Psychometric Consulting unit offers consultation services that assist proprietary testing programs in improving the quality of their programs and validity of results. The Psychometric Consulting unit also offers auditing and accreditation services for licensure and certification tests. The Assessment Literacy unit develops programming and collaborative research to deepen the understanding of testing and assessment practices.
