Minnesota-based Data Recognition Corporation (DRC), which develops testing programs for the education market, has acquired Measurement Research Associates (MRA), a unit of North Carolina-based educational testing company Measurement Incorporated, for an undisclosed price.

Founded in 1985, Measurement Research Associates has been engaged in offering customized psychometric services to certification and licensure boards and associations. The company mainly works with medical and dental specialty certification and licensure boards and associations and its services are said to cover all aspects of test development and also psychometric analysis.

Susan Engeleiter – CEO and President of Data Recognition Corporation said: “Our company launched a new Licensure and Certification Testing business in 2019, and investing in MRA helps us build on our strengths in item and exam development, psychometric analysis, and secure test administration.

“Both DRC and MRA have earned reputations for providing high-quality test development and psychometric analysis services to our clients. MRA’s focus on client-centered quality and relationship management is a natural fit with DRC’s culture and strategic priorities.”
