Testimonials
"The Studienstiftung has been successfully cooperating with the Institute for Test and Giftedness Research (ITB) for many years in the selection of new scholarship holders. The ITB has developed our selection test, which has proven to be very effective in the context of students' self-applications. It is very valuable for us to have reliable and competent cooperation partners at our side with the ITB's consultants, who react to new requirements with flexibility and commitment."
"The universities of Baden-Württemberg found an excellent partner in the Institute for Test Development and Talent Research for the development of the “Deltaprüfung”. ITB provided quickly a customer-oriented concept that fits the requirements of the universities very well. The ITB also supports the universities very reliably and competently in conducting the examination. Overall, we feel that we are in very good hands with the ITB with the Deltaprüfung."
"The Institute for Test Development and Talent Research has been supporting us for more than 10 years. We process about 4,000 applications per year. We benefit from the ITB's know-how, a custom-fit concept for the selection of talented professionals and a powerful online tool for the web-based part of the test procedure."
We regularly evaluate our selection procedures and conduct research on giftedness and aptitude
We are accompanied by a Scientific Advisory Board, which critically and constructively examines the scientific basis of our products.
