We are wholly committed to ensuring our tests and products are unmatched in terms of usage and quality, and always fair to all who use them. ETS is committed to ensuring that our tests and other products are of the highest quality and as free of bias as possible.
All of our products and services – including individual test questions, assessments, instructional materials and publications – are formally evaluated during development to help ensure that they:
- are not offensive or controversial
- do not reinforce stereotypical views of any group
- are free of racial, ethnic, gender, socioeconomic and other forms of bias
- are free of content believed to be inappropriate or derogatory toward any group
In addition, every member of the ETS staff responsible for writing and reviewing test questions undergoes extensive training in our fairness review process. Our commitment to fairness helps distinguish ETS from other assessment companies.
