(3,724 posts)Along with gender bias, I understand they have quite a bit of racial bias as well. The information I quoted was taken from a 1976 study, and I wonder if ETS has taken any steps since then to address these concerns. I certainly hope so.

(18,482 posts)I think about 13 - 14 years ago. At the time I was involved in software test. The pervasive academic atmosphere appeared to under value that area of endeavor. My coworkers were predominantly female and intelligent but for the most part uncredentialed and, AFAI saw, not respected for their ideas or opinions. Most were part timers with families and young children. The test cases were specifically repetitive, simple and mind numbing.
Management, what I saw of it, was exclusively white males who were inordinately proud of the letters after their names, more so than they were about their abilities at contributing useful. My contract was ended (I was canned) about 7 business days after I started. My supervisor's manager (who was the only female I encountered other than my part timer coworkers) seemed to be overly worried about her job and being replaced.
