Established over 50 years ago by Oscar K. Buros, the mission of the Buros Institute is to improve tests and testing practices by providing candidly critical reviews of instruments.

Buros is the surname of our founder, Oscar Krisen Buros, who in 1938 published The Nineteen Thirty Eight Mental Measurements Yearbook. Please note that the Buros Center reviews commercially available English language tests meeting sufficient technical standards that are provided to us by test publishers.

The MMY includes timely, consumer-oriented test reviews that provide evaluative information to promote and encourage informed test selection. Typical MMY test entries include descriptive information, one or two professional reviews, and reviewer references.

The MMY is well respected across fields and is used to find tests appropriate for making decisions about employment, as a reference, for discussion within college courses related to psychological testing, and in the courts.
