“…Despite the logistical challenges of designing ecologically valid proficiency tests-such as knowing the ground truth of test samples, identifying samples of appropriate difficulty, and deciding when, if ever, to count inconclusive decisions as correct (see, e.g., Dror, 2020b;Dror & Scurich, 2020;Martire & Kemp, 2018;Mejia et al, 2020)-numerous laboratories have published accounts of their own implementation of blind proficiency testing programs (e.g., Hundl et al, 2020;Moral et al, 2019;Pierce & Cook, 2020; see also Gardner et al, 2021), detailing its costs and benefits and encouraging other labs to follow suit.…”
