Dr. Stone had initially entered the career pathway to psychology but found that he was much more interested in working to explore the workings of the human mind within psychometrics. Encouraged by his friend and mentor, Benjamin D. Wright, the doctor chose to shift his field of expertise to statistics and measurements. According to Dr. Stone, his career highlight has been the development of new performance standards that bring fairness and scientific credibility to testing and watching his students excel to exceptional heights. He believes that the greatest complement is the success of those who he has taught and mentored.
