Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation
The Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation is an aptitude testing non-profit chiefly based in the United States. Its origins lie in a testing program Johnson O'Connor began at GE in 1922.
History
In 1928, realizing that demand for aptitude testing went far beyond GE workers, O'Connor opened a testing center at Stevens Institute of Technology, which quickly grew to take over an entire building by 1936. In 1939, O'Connor founded the Human Engineering Laboratory at the house formerly belonging to the Converse family, which it has owned to this day (as of 2025). Over the subsequent decades since its inception, the Human Engineering Laboratory grew to a nationwide organization and eventually changed its name to the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation in honor of its founder.
Services
The Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation provides aptitude testing and consultations. As of 2024, they offer twenty-seven different tests in their testing battery. They maintain locations across the United States.
