The origins of the Buros Center for Testing began in the fertile imagination of Oscar Krisen Buros with the publication of The 1938 Mental Measurements Yearbook. A tireless monitor of the testing industry, Buros created a forum for leading scholars to publish candidly critical reviews of commercially available tests designed to serve the interests of both practitioners and the public at large. Under the auspices of the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements (now the Buros Center for Testing), the Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) and Tests in Print (TIP) series grew to become the recognized standards for essential information about tests.
