Guidelines for test developers and users are provided to insure that construction and selection of test instruments are conducted fairly. In addition to development and selection, issues of interpretation of scores; provision of information to test takers; and prevention of test bias based on race, gender, or ethnicity are addressed. Twenty-one guidelines are provided to test developers and users, 16 of which are divided into pairs of parallel directives for developers and users. The guidelines are intended to be consistent with the relevant parts of the "Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing" (1985). However, the guidelines differ from the standards in both audience and purpose. The guidelines are meant to be understood by the general public, limited to educational tests, and focused primarily on those issues that affect the proper use of tests. (TJH)
