Research is continually being conducted on past tests and newly developed tests in a process of ongoing improvement.

As an example, the Personality profile took more than 3 years of research to design and test. A test that will decide the fate of another person needs to be tested over and over again to insure it is accurate. These testing periods last years and are reviewed by many people not just the developer and his staff in the course of a few months. Our whole system has over 13 years of testing to ensure the tests are accurate, valid and Reliable. All our tests meet EEOC requirements.

TestDirect has been on the market for more than 13 years, and is in constant development.
