History

The Board of Certified Psychometrists (BCP) is an independent organization with the mission to administer and manage the Certified Specialist in Psychometry^SM (CSP^SM) examination (CSPe). The CSP^SM credential is the only North American qualification conferred to those professional Psychometrists who have successfully met the standards of this certification.

This organization was founded by like-minded Psychometrists dedicated to promoting a gold-standard in the profession of psychometry and has its origins in 1998 when the issue of credentialing was first proposed as a national collaborative effort.

In 2003 the Psychometry Certification Committee (PCC) was officially formed as an independent committee of the National Association of Psychometrists (NAP). Two years later the PCC was dissolved and replaced with the BCP and the first CSPe was offered. The BCP was established as a non-profit 501(c)(4) [EIN 27-4498479] in 2009 and is an autonomous organization dedicated to continue the responsibilities of psychometrist board certification.
