NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of inTEST Corporation will be held in our offices located at 804 East Gate Drive, Suite 200, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, on Wednesday, June 22, 2011, at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, to consider and vote on the following matters described in the accompanying Proxy Statement:

The Board of Directors has fixed May 18, 2011, at the close of business, as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting.

April 29, 2011

inTEST CORPORATION
804 East Gate Drive, Suite 200
Mt. Laurel, New Jersey 08054

The following questions and answers present important information pertaining to the meeting:

• each of our Named Executive Officers (as that term is defined later in this proxy statement under the heading "Executive Compensation");
• each of our directors;
• all directors and executive officers as a group; and
• each stockholder known by inTEST to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock.

Percentage ownership in the following table is based on 10,364,606 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 27, 2011. We have determined beneficial ownership in the table in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by any person or group of persons and the percentage ownership of that person or group, shares of common stock subject to options held by such person or group of persons that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable by June 26, 2011 ("Option Shares"), are deemed to be beneficially owned by such person and outstanding for the calculation of such person's percentage ownership. However, we have not deemed these shares to be outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes following the table, each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such stockholder.

Biographical and Other Information Regarding inTEST's Directors

Biographical information regarding the business experience of each of our directors and the primary aspects of each of our directors' experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that each of our directors should serve on our Board of Directors is set forth below.

Among other attributes, skills, experiences and qualifications, the Board believes that Mr. Holt's education as an engineer and his experience as the designer and developer of the basic products in our Mechanical Products segment, as well as his knowledge and industry experience as a founder and our former Chief Executive Officer for 17 years and an industry participant for approximately 50 years, are the attributes, skills, experiences and qualifications that allow Mr. Holt to provide visionary leadership as the Chairman of our Board of Directors.

Since January 2005, Mr. Schwartz has held Counsel status as a retired partner of Saul Ewing.

Among other attributes, skills, experiences and qualifications, the Board believes that Mr. Reilly's accounting education and his over 30 years of experience as a certified public accountant at a Big 4 accounting firm, including 20 years as an audit partner, give him insight into corporate finance trends and practices and an ability to understand generally accepted accounting principles and internal control procedures and to analyze and evaluate financial statements. These attributes, skills, experiences and qualifications, in addition to his outside board service at another public company, which provides him with additional experiences regarding corporate governance trends and best practices and the implementation of SEC rules, are the attributes, skills, experiences and qualifications that allow Mr. Reilly to make a valuable contribution as one of our directors and as the Chairman of our Audit Committee.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the current directors meets the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules (the "NASDAQ Rules"), with the exception of Mr. Holt, who serves as our Executive Chairman, and Mr. Matthiessen, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer. In making the foregoing determination with respect to our non-employee directors, the Board did not identify any matters, transactions, relationships or arrangements that needed to be considered in determining independence of these directors, except that the Board considered the role of Mr. Schwartz as Of Counsel to Saul Ewing LLP, a law firm that provides us with legal services.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Bylaws and Guidelines on Significant Corporate Governance Issues state our general policy that the position of Chief Executive Officer may be held by either the Executive Chairman or the President of the Company. We believe this gives us the greatest flexibility to maintain strong leadership and management of the Company. Presently, the position of Chief Executive Officer is held by the President. We believe this is the most appropriate structure at this time as it allows our Chairman to maintain primary focus on long range administration and development of strategic initiatives, while the President has primary focus on daily operations, product development and synergies among our product segments.

Risk Oversight

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks that the Company faces, while the Board of Directors, as a whole and through its Committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Management attends regular Board and Committee meetings and discusses with the Board or Committees the various risks confronting the Company, including the operational, legal, market and competitive risks facing the Company.

Transactions with Related Persons

We have not entered into any transactions with related persons since January 1, 2010, the Company is not otherwise a party to a current transaction, and no transaction is currently proposed, in which the amount of the transaction exceeds $120,000 and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the election of each of the nominees to the Board of Directors named above.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has five standing Committees: an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and an Intellectual Property Committee. Copies of the charters of each of these committees are posted on our website: www.intest.com.

The Executive Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to exercise all powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of our business and affairs during intervals between meetings of the Board of Directors, and to provide oversight of, and make recommendations to, the Board of Directors regarding corporate initiatives and strategies. During 2010, the members of the Committee were, and presently are, Alyn R. Holt, Chairman, Robert E. Matthiessen, Stuart F. Daniels, and James W. Schwartz. The Committee held no meetings in 2010.

The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to our financial management and controls. The Committee's primary oversight responsibilities relate to the integrity of our accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of our financial statements, and systems of internal control over financial reporting and accounting matters, and the independence, qualifications, retention, and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm. During 2010, the members of the Committee were, and presently are, Thomas J. Reilly, Chairman, Stuart F. Daniels, James J. Greed and James W. Schwartz. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Reilly meets the criteria of an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K. The Board of Directors has also determined that each of the members of the Committee is independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ Rules. The Committee held seven meetings during 2010.

The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to review, evaluate, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation and benefit programs of our executive officers and to administer our equity based compensation plans. During 2010, the members of the Committee were, and presently are, Stuart F. Daniels, Chairman, James J. Greed, James W. Schwartz and Thomas J. Reilly. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Committee is independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ Rules. The Committee held two meetings during 2010.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to select and recommend to the Board the director nominees to be presented for election at future annual meetings of stockholders and to review and assess our corporate governance procedures. During 2010, the members of the Committee were, and presently are, James J. Greed, Chairman, Stuart F. Daniels, James W. Schwartz and Thomas J. Reilly. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Committee is independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ Rules. See "Nominating Procedures" for information regarding the process for identifying and evaluating nominees, procedures for stockholder nominations and director qualifications. The Committee held two meetings during 2010.

The Intellectual Property Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to review, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board regarding the development, protection, and acquisition of intellectual property that is or may be used in our business. During 2010, the members of the Committee were, and presently are, Stuart F. Daniels, Chairman, Alyn R. Holt and Robert E. Matthiessen. Daniel J. Graham, James Pelrin and certain other members of our management team serve as non-voting members of the Committee. The Committee held one meeting in 2010.

Meetings

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Board of Directors held a total of seven meetings. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and meetings of any committee of which he was a member, which were held during the time in which he was a director or a committee member, as applicable.

All members of the Board of Directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. Five of our directors attended the 2010 Annual Meeting held on August 10, 2010.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders who wish to communicate directly with the Board of Directors, or with a particular director, may send a letter addressed to our Secretary at 804 East Gate Drive, Suite 200, Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054. The mailing envelope must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a "Stockholder Board Communication" or "Stockholder Director Communication." All such letters must identify the author as a stockholder and clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the Board or just certain specified individual directors. The Secretary will make copies of all such letters and circulate them to the directors addressed. If a stockholder wishes the communication to be confidential, such stockholder must clearly indicate on the envelope that the communication is "confidential." The Secretary will then forward such communication, unopened, to the directors, or director, specified on the envelope, or if none, to the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Compensation Procedures

During 2010, the Compensation Committee was comprised, and presently is comprised, solely of independent directors. Under Delaware state law, the Committee has the authority to delegate any or all of its powers and authority to one or more subcommittees, each subcommittee to consist of one or more members of the Committee. No such delegation of authority to a subcommittee has occurred.

Generally, the process of considering and determining compensation for executive officers and directors is initiated by a review of the individual contributions and performance of each executive officer, as described in this paragraph. Our Executive Chairman is responsible for preparing the evaluation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and for submitting that evaluation to the Committee with his recommendation for the compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer. The President and Chief Executive Officer is responsible for evaluating the Chief Financial Officer and each of the General Managers of our Product Segments and for presenting his evaluations of these officers to the Compensation Committee with his recommendations for compensation. The Executive Chairman's compensation is determined by the Committee based upon its assessment of the performance of the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer's overall recommendations regarding executive compensation.

Management periodically obtains survey data of comparably situated companies from Economic Research Institute ("ERI") to guide it in its recommendations of compensation increases. The specific parameters defined for ERI are job description, company revenue size, company SIC code and geographic location. Based upon these inputs, ERI supplies base salaries, incentive and total compensation information for comparable job descriptions. Where comparable job descriptions do not exist, further analysis is necessary to determine appropriate comparable compensation parameters. Thus, because it is our current practice to have both an Executive Chairman and a President and Chief Executive Officer, the starting point for our consideration of the compensation for these two positions is determined by combining the ERI data for the position of "Outside Chairman" and the position of "President and Chief Executive Officer" and adjusting for the additional activities and responsibilities of our Executive Chairman.

Changes to director compensation are periodically considered by the Committee and recommended to the Board of Directors for approval. Such changes may be proposed by any director. Any change in the compensation of any director or any group of directors is approved by a majority of non-interested directors, and, if such recommendation applies to the compensation of all directors, by a majority of the independent directors in addition to a majority of the directors then in office. Information regarding director compensation at comparable companies is also obtained periodically from ERI.

Nominating Procedures

Generally, in order to identify and evaluate director nominees, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses the qualifications, expertise, performance and willingness to serve of each current director. If as a result of such assessment, or at any other time during the year, the Board of Directors determines a need to add a new director with specific qualifications or to fill a vacancy on the Board, a search will be initiated utilizing appropriate staff support, input from other directors, senior management, and outside contacts, consideration of nominees previously submitted by stockholders, and, if deemed necessary or appropriate, retention of a search firm. An initial slate of candidates satisfying the specific qualifications, if any, and otherwise qualifying for membership on the Board, will be identified and reviewed by the Committee and the Board. The candidates will be prioritized and a determination made as to whether a member of the Committee, another director or member of senior management has a relationship with the preferred candidate and can initiate contacts. If not, contact may be initiated by a search firm. The Chairman and one or more members of the Committee or the Board will interview the prospective candidate. Evaluations and recommendations of the interviewers will be shared with the Committee for final evaluation. The Committee will then meet to consider such recommendations and to determine which candidate (or candidates) to select. The Committee will evaluate all nominees for director, including nominees recommended by a stockholder, on the same basis.

Each of the nominees for director included in this proxy statement were selected for re-election by the Committee (which is comprised solely of independent directors). The full Board of Directors, including the Executive Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer, unanimously recommend the nominees for election by the stockholders of the Company.

We will consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board of Directors, recommendations with regard to nominees for election to the Board of Directors at future annual meetings of stockholders may be submitted in writing, received by the Secretary of inTEST at least 60 days prior to the date on which inTEST first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting of stockholders, or, if the date for the annual meeting has changed more than 30 days from the prior year or if inTEST did not have an annual meeting of stockholders in the prior year, then such recommendations must be received by the Secretary of inTEST a reasonable time before the distribution of the proxy materials for the annual meeting. Each notice of nomination must set forth (i) the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of each nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, (iii) the number of shares of common stock of inTEST which are beneficially owned by each such nominee, (iv) the qualifications of such nominee for service on the Board of Directors, (v) the name and residence address of the proposing stockholder(s), and (vi) the number of shares of common stock owned by the proposing stockholder(s).

Director candidates must meet certain minimum qualifications, including being at least 21 years old and possessing (1) the ability to read and understand corporate financial statements, (2) relevant business experience and professional skills, (3) high moral character and personal and professional integrity, and (4) the willingness to commit sufficient time to attend to his or her duties and responsibilities as a director of a public corporation. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider a variety of other qualities and skills, including (i) expertise in finance, economics, technology or markets related to the business in which inTEST and its subsidiaries may engage, (ii) the ability to exercise independent decision-making, (iii) the absence of conflicts of interest, (iv) diversity of experience, and (v) the ability to work effectively with other directors in collectively serving the long-term interests of all stockholders. Nominees must also meet any applicable requirements of SEC regulations, state law, and inTEST's charter and bylaws. While we do not have a policy related to Board diversity, the Board seeks nominees whose qualifications provide a diversity of relevant experience and skill sets that synergistically combine to provide a strong management advisory and oversight capability.

Our executive officers and their ages are as follows:

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee is committed to the general principle that executive compensation should be commensurate with our performance and the performance of the individual executive officer. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

• attract and retain executive officers who demonstrate the leadership and management skills necessary to drive our long-term success;
• reward the achievement of our business goals and individual contributions toward achievement of those goals; and
• provide compensation opportunities linked to our performance and the interests of our stockholders.

Generally, decisions regarding our executive compensation program reflect the individual contributions and performance of each executive officer as well as our overall business goals and strategies, the business cycle of our industry and prior cost-containment initiatives and adjustments. In addition, our executive compensation program has been developed with reference to the executive compensation practices of comparable companies in our industry to ensure that the total compensation opportunity provided to our executive officers is competitive with the market in which we compete for executive talent. Underlying our executive compensation program, particularly, in the case of executive officers who have price-setting authority, is the philosophy that the interests of our stockholders are best served by a program that includes a significant incentive or variable component based on our performance. In allocating total compensation between fixed pay, such as base salary and benefits, and variable pay for these executive officers, our general policy has been to structure compensation so that over time the portion achievable through variable pay represents approximately one third of the executive officer's total compensation opportunity, with fixed compensation and appreciation from stock awards and/or stock options, comprising the other two-thirds. Due to the cyclicality of our business, we periodically reduce fixed compensation, and little or no variable compensation will be earned, when our business segments incur losses or minimal earnings, as in the past several years. As the business cycle has gained strength, our compensation decisions have been based largely upon restoring fixed compensation to pre-2008 levels, while recognizing the loss of variable compensation opportunities during the past several years and seeking to restore such lost opportunities, so that our compensation structure reflects the ongoing contributions of our executive officers to the Company's long-term success throughout the cycles.

Accordingly, in March 2010, the base salaries of our executive officers were reinstated to the levels paid prior to the November 2008 cost containment actions, such reinstatements effective as of January 1, 2010, with the exception of the Executive Chairman who voluntarily maintained an approximate 35% reduction of his full pre-November 2008 salary. The base salary and variable performance compensation arrangements for 2011 of our Named Executive Officers (as defined below) are reflected in the table below and are unchanged from 2010:

The primary elements of our executive compensation include fixed base salary and benefits, variable performance compensation, stock-awards and change-in-control payments. The following sections set forth certain information with respect to the compensation we paid, or recognized as an expense in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718 (Compensation - Stock Compensation) to our Chief Executive Officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as such at December 31, 2010. These officers are referred to as our "Named Executive Officers."

_______________________

Employment Agreements. We have not entered into any employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers. However, as discussed in the "Potential Payments Upon Termination Following a Change of Control" section below, we have entered into agreements with Messrs. Matthiessen, Regan and Graham, which provide for the payment of certain benefits in the event of termination of employment following a change in control.

Variable Compensation. Variable compensation for 2010 was determined for each of our Named Executive Officers, other than our Chief Financial Officer, under a pre-established formula tied to our pre-tax profitability as follows:

• President and Chief Executive Officer - Our President and Chief Executive Officer earned a cash incentive payment equal to 1.5% of our overall, consolidated pre-tax profits plus 1.5% of the pre-tax profit of each of our three product segments.
• Sr. Vice President, General Manager of Mechanical Products Segment and General Manager of Electrical Products Segment - The Sr. Vice President and General Manager of both our Mechanical and Electrical Products segments earned a cash incentive payment equal to 2.5% of the pre-tax profit for each of the product segments.

The amounts of annual variable compensation earned by our Named Executive Officers, other than our Chief Financial Officer, for 2010 is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under the column "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation".

In lieu of formula-based variable compensation, our Chief Financial Officer is eligible for a discretionary bonus, subject to the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and approval of the Compensation Committee. The amount of discretionary bonus awarded to our Chief Financial Officer for 2010 is included in the Summary Compensation Table under the "Bonus" column.

Grants of Stock-Based Awards. During 2010, we granted restricted stock awards to our Named Executive Officers as follows: Matthiessen: 10,000 shares; Regan: 10,000 shares; and Graham: 10,000 shares. These restricted stock awards will vest in 25% increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to the continued employment by, or service to, the Company of the respective beneficial owner through each such vesting date. Vesting of restricted stock awards is accelerated in the event of the executive officer's death or disability or in the event of a change of control.

Retirement Benefits. Our executive officers are provided retirement benefits under the same tax-qualified 401(k) plan provided to other employees working in the same product segment as the executive officer. Messrs. Matthiessen, Regan and Graham participate in the 401(k) plan provided to employees of our Mechanical Products Segment. This 401(k) plan allows participants to make contributions from their own salary on a pre-tax basis and provides a discretionary employer matching contribution not to exceed $4,750 a year. The amount of employer contributions made to our 401(k) plans for our Named Executive Officers for 2010 and 2009 are included in the column entitled "All Other Compensation" in the Summary Compensation Table. We do not provide any other retirement benefits to our Named Executive Officers.

Potential Payments Upon Termination Following a Change of Control. We have Change-of-Control Agreements in place with Messrs. Matthiessen, Regan and Graham. These Change-of-Control Agreements provide for the payment of certain benefits upon the executive officer's termination of employment by us without Cause or by the executive officer for Good Reason within two years following a Change of Control. These benefits consist of the continuation of the executive officer's base salary and fringe benefits for the one year period following the termination of his employment and payment of the variable performance based compensation that he would have earned for such one year period.

Under the Change-of-Control Agreements, a Change of Control occurs in the event of:

• our dissolution or liquidation;
• the sale of substantially all of our assets, except to a stockholder who as of the date of the Change of Control Agreements owned 20% or more of our stock (a "Related Person");
• our merger or consolidation with another company unless our stockholders own stock in that company in the same proportion that they own stock in us prior to the transaction;
• any person or entity other than a Related Person obtains the voting control of 40% or more of our stock; or
• our directors and those persons our directors may nominate to become our directors, cease to comprise a majority of our Board members.

Under the Change-of-Control Agreements, a termination for "Cause" means the executive's termination by us because of an act of fraud upon the Company, his willful refusal to perform the duties assigned to him by the Board or his conviction for any crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust or for any crime that is a felony or of moral turpitude.

The term "Good Reason" under the Change-of-Control Agreements means a material adverse change in an executive's status, responsibilities or benefits; a failure to be nominated or elected to his current officer position; a requirement to report to anyone other than his direct report; an assignment of duties inconsistent with his current officer position; any reduction in base salary, variable component or formula for determining the variable component which would have the effect of reducing his variable component, or other reduction in compensation or benefits; or a requirement to relocate more than thirty miles from his current office.

The benefits payable under the Change-of-Control Agreements are subject to the release of any claims that Messrs. Matthiessen, Regan and Graham may have against us pursuant to the agreements as we may request. Fringe benefits will be reduced or eliminated to the extent that comparable benefits are received from another source. Furthermore, the benefits will be reduced to the extent that the payments would not be deductible by us (in whole or in part) under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

Also, in the event of a Change of Control, all equity awards issued to our Named Executive Officers become 100% vested. For purposes of equity awards under the inTEST Corporation 2007 Stock Plan, the definition of Change of Control is the same as defined above. For purposes of the Amended and Restated inTEST Corporation 1997 Stock Plan (equity awards issued prior to March 31, 2007), a Change of Control occurs in the event of:

• our dissolution or liquidation;
• the sale of substantially all of our assets;
• our merger or consolidation with another company unless our stockholders own stock in that company in the same proportion that they own stock in us prior to the transaction; or
• any person or entity other than a Related Person obtains the voting control of 50% or more of our stock.

The following table sets forth the compensation earned by, or paid in cash to, the members of our Board of Directors, who are not Named Executive Officers, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Non-employee directors currently receive an annual retainer of $25,000, non-employee members of the Executive Committee receive an additional annual fee of $15,000 and the chairmen of the committees of the Board receive an additional annual fee as follows: the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual fee of $15,000; the Chairman of the Compensation Committee receives an additional annual fee of $10,000; the Chairman of the Intellectual Property Committee receives an additional annual fee of $75,000; and the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives an additional annual fee of $10,000. In addition, we reimburse non-employee directors' travel expenses and other costs associated with attending Board or committee meetings. We do not pay additional cash compensation to our officers for their service as directors.

McGladrey & Pullen, LLP was appointed as our independent registered public accounting firm ("IRPA Firm") on June 16, 2008. McGladrey & Pullen, LLP audited our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has selected McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as our IRPA Firm for the year ending December 31, 2011. The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, appoint, evaluate and, where appropriate, discharge and replace McGladrey Pullen LLP as our IRPA Firm, and the selection of the Company's IRPA Firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders for ratification. Notwithstanding the outcome of the vote by the stockholders of the Company, the Audit Committee is not bound to retain such firm or to replace such firm, where, in either case, after considering the outcome of the vote, the Audit Committee determines its decision regarding the firm to be in the best interests of the Company.

The following table sets forth the fees billed by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as described below:

Audit Fees: Consists of fees billed for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements and review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for 2010 and 2009, respectively, that are included in quarterly reports during those years and services that are normally provided by our IRPA Firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, and attest services, except those not required by statute or regulation.

Audit-Related Fees: Consists of fees billed in each of 2010 and 2009 for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." These services would include accounting consultations in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, attest services that are not required by statute or regulation, and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

Tax Fees: Consists of fees billed in each of 2010 and 2009 for tax related services including advice, preparation of returns and other tax services related to federal, state and international taxes.

All Other Fees: Consists of fees billed in each of 2010 and 2009 for all services other than those reported above.

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our IRPA Firm. On an ongoing basis, management defines and communicates specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of our IRPA Firm for such services. The Audit Committee has also delegated authority to Mr. Reilly, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and if Mr. Reilly is unavailable, to any other Audit Committee member, to pre-approve permitted services. Any such pre-approval must be reported to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. The Audit Committee did not approve any services pursuant to the de minimis exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X during 2010.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of the selection of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by our Board of Directors, which is available on our website: www.intest.com.

The Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 with management. The Committee has discussed the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication With Audit Committees" with McGladrey & Pullen LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm ("IRPA Firm") for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from McGladrey & Pullen LLP required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence (which relates to the IRPA Firm's independence from us and our subsidiaries) and has discussed with McGladrey & Pullen  LLP their independence from us and our related entities.

Based on the review and discussions referenced above, the Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, certain officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that, during 2010, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to these officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were timely met.

Stockholders intending to submit proposals to be included in our proxy statement for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2012 must send their proposals to Hugh T. Regan, Jr., Secretary at 804 East Gate Drive, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey 08054, not later than January 25, 2012. These proposals must relate to matters appropriate for stockholder action and be consistent with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to stockholders' proposals in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement relating to that meeting.

Stockholders intending to present proposals at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2012 and not intending to have such proposals included in our next proxy statement must send their proposals to Hugh T. Regan, Jr., Secretary (at the addresses given in the prior paragraph) not later than April 10, 2012. If notification of a stockholder proposal is not received by such date, management's proxies may vote, in their discretion, any and all of the proxies received in that solicitation.

Our Annual Report to Stockholders (which includes our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010), accompanies this proxy statement. The Annual Report to Stockholders does not constitute a part of the proxy solicitation materials.
