Abstract: The "Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing" have served as a cornerstone for best practices in assessment. As the field evolves, so must these standards, with regular revisions ensuring they reflect current knowledge and practice. The National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) conducted a survey to gather feedback from its members regarding potential updates to the 2014 "Standards." Respondents recommended changes and new topics such as providing technology-based testing standards, addressing AI/machine learning and automation, attending to diversity, equity, inclusion and fairness throughout the "Standards," ensuring broad relevancy to many types of assessment, and accommodating various psychometric modeling techniques. The authors hope that this publication will promote participation in future opportunities to provide feedback throughout the "Standards" revision process.
