Beyond assessment scoring, MI engages in school improvement work; for example, in November 2023 it delivered professional learning to over 1,200 educators in Pueblo, Colorado, as part of a two-year contract with Pueblo School District 60.

Measurement Incorporated (MI) is an employee-owned American corporation that has operated in the educational assessment field for over 40 years, according to its official website. The company was built around providing customized assessment services to state departments of education, other testing companies, and various organizations. Over its history it has developed a comprehensive set of capabilities spanning scoring, psychometrics, test development, and school improvement. A central element of MI's development has been its scoring operations. The company reports over 40 years of experience in performance assessment scoring, and it has continued to innovate in this area by combining human expertise with advanced automated technologies. Its handscoring operations use a state-of-the-art Virtual Scoring Center (VSC), a secure web-based platform that integrates all aspects of the scoring process—from hiring and training to scoring and reporting. The VSC includes three core systems: VSC Capture, which acquires and decodes response data from paper-based tests; VSC Train, which provides consistent training and practice opportunities for raters and scoring leaders; and VSC Score, which manages user access, scoring activities, and generates real-time reports. MI's training process equips raters with the knowledge and skills to apply scoring criteria consistently and accurately through uniform training, practice, and a qualification stage. MI's automated scoring work has received notable recognition. The company states that it is a grand-prize winner of the NAEP Automated Scoring Challenge and of both phases of the Hewlett ASAP competition. Its PEG® automated-scoring engine is used alongside human raters in a hybrid model that routes complex responses to expert raters while automation delivers speed, consistency, and scale. Beyond scoring, MI has expanded into psychometric and assessment services, item and test development, program evaluation, professional development and training, and implementation support. Its psychometricians and scientists publish in leading peer-reviewed journals, reflecting a research-driven approach. The company also engages in school improvement partnerships; for example, it entered a two-year contract with Pueblo School District 60 in Colorado, and in November 2023 delivered professional learning to over 1,200 educators in Pueblo as part of that work. As an employee-owned corporation, MI's structure and values emphasize sustainable financial success, client service, employee professional development, integrity, creativity, and good corporate citizenship.
