Overview

Measurement Incorporated (MI) is an employee-owned corporation that contracts with state and local departments of education, other educational agencies, and private businesses to develop and score educational tests.
 

MI continues to be recognized as the nation’s leading provider of professional handscoring services for essays and open-ended exams.  We have also developed a full range of capabilities to support all facets of assessment of students in kindergarten through college and at the professional level.

MI was established in 1980 by Dr. Henry Scherich in Durham, North Carolina, which is still the home of its headquarters.  The company now maintains 12 other offices in eight states and employs over 360 full-time staff in addition to thousands of seasonal employees who assist in assessment scoring, item development, and materials handling.  The company is organized into seven main departments: Test Development; Scoring; Information Technology; Evaluation Services; Software Products; Materials Management; and Administration.

MI has provided state departments of education with more handscoring services than any other company.  Under stringent security guidelines and demanding deadlines, we have developed and scored tests in writing, reading, mathematics, science/technology, social studies, fine arts, health, and other subjects and have accommodated students with limited English proficiency and special needs.  We have also assessed the skills of teachers, translators, and other professionals. 

Measurement Incorporated is a community-conscious organization which participates in programs involving student internships, tutoring, literacy, education, and recycling.  Over the years, MI has received considerable recognition and awards from the community for business development, historic renovation, charitable contributions, support of employees and families, and dedication to educational causes.
