Description

This story is a true, revealing, and sometimes shocking insight into the little known world of educational test publishing and the gamble that led the flamboyant Ethel Clark to become one of the industrys major players.

How she grew the business (once known as California Test Bureau, now CTB/McGraw-Hill) and dealt with the IRS, the unions, the U.S.

Army, and her scholarly husband, Willis, was far from traditional, and her personal life was often scandalous. Ethels drive to be somebody, her disregard for conventional behavior, and her foresight in adopting leading-edge technology contrasted sharply with the persona of her husband Willis Clark, Ed.D.

Willis was a pioneer in educational testing, who dedicated his life to the development of many nationally used educational tests and always emphasized the importance of designing tests with results to help the teacher help the child.

Ethel and Willis greatly influenced the growth and prominence of one of Americas significant but controversial industries.

An Appendix highlights test development from conception to the application of test results.
