International Military Testing Association

an organization that, since its founding in 1959, has held conferences on the job proficiency evaluation of enlisted military personnel and increasingly on research relevant to behavioral science as applied to the military (e.g., occupational analysis, leadership, organizational behavior, human factors, manpower analysis). Originally called the Military Testing Association, the organization changed its name in 1993 to reflect the increasing involvement of countries around the world. Participants include civilian as well as uniformed researchers and practitioners.
