About Us
A first natural question that students, their parents and educators may have when viewing what Kidtest.com offers is "Who the heck are you?" After all, the credibility and quality of the assessments and feedback reports offered on site should be key factors in the decision to spend time and resources using them. The Kidtest.com story is an interesting one. Here’s the short version.
Kidtest.com was founded by three partners - family members - who were struck by reports that the education of America’s and Canada’s youth has not kept pace with international standards and performance. The partners determined to develop an accurate, efficient and affordable educational assessment resource as a way of contributing to the solution. The three partners had a unique combination of knowledge and experience that helped them take on such a daunting venture. One partner was a professor at a major state university and a specialist in psychometric assessment. The second partner was a professor at an Ivy League university, also with experience with assessment at all educational levels. Between the two of them, they had personally taught nearly 5,000 grade school, high school, college and graduate students and had nearly 50 years of combined teaching experience. In addition, much of their experience involved the use of the Internet and computer systems. The third partner had run several successful business ventures for over 30 years as an entrepreneur. This combination of skills was critical.
Although modest at first, the Kidtest.com partnership and assessment team has grown to a dozen members. This team devises and tests the assessments. It manages the business aspects of running a successful web site. And it develops and maintains the Kidtest.com technology itself.
