Pearson recruits qualified professionals as independent contractors to administer our assessments to specific populations in their own communities. These assessments are research editions currently in development, and as an Examiner your role is to collect the data that informs our decisions around administration rules, final items, and scoring. In addition, you contribute to the overall dataset that will be used to create the norms used in the test once published.

We recruit a variety of professionals most of whom are part of one of the following disciplines:

• Clinical psychologists
• Neuropsychologists
• School psychologists
• Speech language pathologists
• Educational diagnosticians
• Psychometrists
• Psychometricians
• Psychoeducational Consultants
• Special Education professionals
• Early childhood intervention specialists
• Supervised graduate students in specific fields

Participating in field research as an Examiner is the best way to preview and learn about the latest advancements in educational and psychological testing. Your expert feedback on the subtest directions, test items and scoring rules are incorporated into the final product we publish. With your permission, we also include the names of all our Examiners in the final test manual, in recognition of your role as a collaborator on the development of these important assessments.

For participation in field research testing, we compensate both the Examiners who are administering the assessments, as well as the Examinees who are taking them. Compensation varies from project to project depending on different variables including length of the test administration. We offer site compensation for organizations willing to coordinate directly with Examiners, provide recruiting assistance, and/or a physical location for testing, and we provide all the necessary testing materials for each assessment.
