Ok........we applied psychometricians have finally arrived!!!!
An article in the NY Times talks (click here to read) about how psychometricians, largely because of the No Child Left Behind Legislation (NCLB) [or what I've often called the "psychometricians full employment act" ] are now "one of the most obscure, esoteric, and cerebral professions in America" and the profession "is also one of the hottest." I like the label and description. Maybe I will put this quote on my IAP business cards.
