Stoelting
Stoelting is a company founded in 1886, based in Illinois, United States, in the field of psychological assessments, physiological assessment, and psychophysiological measurement.
History[edit]
Christian Hans Stoelting[1] created Stoelting (originally called Chicago Laboratory Supply and Scale Co.) in 1886 and quickly grew it into a successful supplier and producer of physiological and psychological products.
From 1903 to 1943, Stoelting was the principal producer of psychological assessments and therapeutic products[2] of the material culture of American psychology, with products that were supplied globally.[3]
At the St. Louis Universal Exposition of 1904, C.H. Stoelting Co. was awarded Medals for Anthropometric Apparatus and Psychometric Apparatus.
A number of Stoelting products from that early time period are available to see in museums and in displays globally.[4]
Stoelting continues to produce products in psychology, with an inventory of many notable assessments, including the Leiter-3, Merrill-Palmer-Revised, and Stroop, Color & Word Test, among others.[5] In addition, Stoelting has a number of products in physiological assessment, including products for assessment of laboratory animals, dynamometers, and instruments for precise measurement.
