Brief History
Since the 1970s there has been a heightened
concern not only with ethical problems but also
with broader questions of values in all fields of
both theoretical and applied psychology(Bersoff,
1995 et al. )
In the testing area, thoughtful and provocative
analyses of the role of values and the underlying
ethical rationale of various practices have been
presented by Eyde and Quiantance (1998)

Objectivity of Tests
When social stereotypes and
prejudice may distort
interpersonal evaluations,
tests provide a safeguard
against favoritism and
arbitrary and capricious
decisions.
