In Reply To: I would imagine that a firm could ask this, then ask you (or at least a randomly selected of "auditees") to have ETS forward the scores to them. I *think* ETS would do this if ok'd by the test-taker. They do send scores out to non-schools in some cases, e.g. scholarship boards ... so it's not *strictly* sent to schools. Alternatively, the firm could ask you to have ETS send *you* a copy of your scores (if you don't still have a copy). They could simply look at an ETS original which they ask you to provide. === This is similar to the situation some firms (esp., consulting & I-banks) have at some schools which do not release students' class ranks or grades. I know of at least one MBA program which has this policy ... however, students are not prohibited from disclosing their *own* grades ... so some firms ask the students to self-disclose.
Message: ETS doesn't send GMAT scores to employers, because they pretend the GMAT is only for business school admissions, even though the truth is that it's just a general intelligence and mathematical competency test. Intelligence testing as bad karma.
