I very clearly said pearson and others in the space. If reviews can be done by psychometricians, why test building cannot ? There are many many qualified professionals affiliated with major universities- several of them owned by the state. Is it difficult to imagine them developing the tests? Many of these same professionals consult with testing companies for building the tests, so it is not like these companies have some magic expertise no one else has. Using an vendor test gives that companies allied products basically an Monopoly for that test/skill. This is a fact of this industry, and testing companies will use it to their advantage because that's their business. It is in public interest not to privatize the test itself, so there is competition amongst providers of allied products and free market can prevail. Current setup is like government tax code is set by intuit and you can only file tax via turbo tax and nothing else

You are just imagine things as an outsider. Testing companies not only have the best psychometricians and they have many many psychometricians and stasticians work for them. Yes. University professors do consulting works. How do they have the capacity to build a product as professional companies do? ...

  I am no outsider, I have spent last 10 years partnering/ integrating with testing companies . I have seen tests built and marketed and sold. All tests have frameworks underlying them , do you know how long it takes to establish a framework ? How many peer reviewed papers that have to published, and time it takes to shape the opinion of the ecosystem to make it acceptable? Without a established validity and equity nobody is going to buy the test, why would they risk it to get sued? You think companies go through the full journey of years and take all the risk? in most cases they only come in the latter stages and commercialize and adapt it.
