notes: label: Description
content: This is an undated sheet from The Psychological Corporation announcing the publication of a test which might be used, the company says, to assess scientific background and predict scientific achievement. It grew out of the Earth Science Curriculum Project. The ESCP was an NSF-funded project to improve high school teaching of geology and space science that originated in the mid-1950s. It was centered at the American Geological Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and encouraged publication of textbooks such as <I>Investigating the Earth</I> (Houghton-Mifflin, 1967), in conjunction with expert scientific advice, teacher training and evaluation. To judge the success of its endeavors, the ESCP and the Psychological Corporation developed a test. This sheet advertises a modified version of that test. No individual author is listed. For a description of the test as given by the ESCP in 1967, see Wall and Summerlin.
