Tech is starting to get this, so we're seeing alternative testing companies popping up in the talent recruiting space for e.g. engineering. But we're not yet seeing much of that in other fields or in early education, which is unfortunate

Agree that testing outside of engineering is stagnant. There are some interesting instructional trends in K12 though that offer a little hope: project-based, inquiry-led, design thinking, maker...even movements like student voice. All have improved methods of assessment I respect
