fusion-text-4\"><p>Bynum has achieved these extraordinary contributions because of the variety of projects she has worked on at HumRRO and her ability to integrate best practices from education psychometric work and more traditional I-O psychology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was able to get to this point of my career because of many mentors and because HumRRO gives me the opportunity to move between both spaces and to take on leadership roles within projects for clients,\u201d she explained. \u201cI\u2019ve had the opportunity to work on several high-stakes, high profile assessments in education, the private sector, and for the Army so my work has reached a large cross-section of groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moving seamlessly from public to private sector clients and from education psychometric projects to traditional I-O work allows Bynum to learn and share best practices from each.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Bynum brings her I-O experience in assessing impact and providing practical implications to her education quality assurance projects. Conversely, she integrates quality assurance best practices internally to her I-O projects. Bynum recently applied her experience in education using item response theory (IRT) analysis to the scoring of situational judgment tests in a traditional I-O project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer clients know that she comes from an I-O rather than educational testing background, and they see how her orientation to measurement and her associated conceptual and quantitative skills bring value to their programs that is missing from traditionally trained psychometricians,\u201d said Deirdre J. Knapp, Ph.D., principal scientist at HumRRO.<\/p>\n<p>Bynum credits the \u201cHumRRO model\u201d of integrating staff in these two program areas as a competitive advantage benefiting all clients. \u201cHumRRO is unique in that we are an assessment organization working in these two areas\u2014education and I-O psychology\u2014where staff can overlap because the underlying assessment principals are the same,\u201d she explained. \u201cIf you need psychometric expertise in developing a hiring assessment, we can provide that integration.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:45px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-shadow\" style=\"background:radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-webkit-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-moz-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-o-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h1 class=\"title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;color:#009cd7;--fontSize:34;line-height:1.4;\">Unearthing Solutions<\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Bynum has contributed her deep expertise in psychometric support to high stakes testing programs for professional certification and K-12 Education, where she serves as an excellent ambassador for I-O psychology.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to various special studies investigating issues related to computer disruptions, cheating, and other complications associated with operational tests, Bynum has run calibration and equating analyses on over 300 assessments in seven states impacting more than 10 million students.

I find myself watching in awe and admiration as she comes through time and time again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bynum possesses a degree of quantitative expertise usually found only among academics.

explained. \u201cYou can manage data and crunch numbers, but if you don\u2019t participate in designing the project or discussing with clients what they want from the project, then you won\u2019t have context for running the analyses and interpreting the results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bynum added that to collect the best data available and conduct the most informative analyses for the client, researchers need to contribute to the conversations at the beginning of projects when the team is determining the questions and how to collect data.<\/p>\n<p>Bynum looks forward to the next 10 years of
