Just to expand on Greg's point, we're an Aikido Association of America dojo, and the belt ranks are standardized across the association.
Generally, we don't put too much emphasis on belt ranks, but it is an easy way to tell who the senior students are. I view the tests as a good method for checking one's progress and readiness for responsibility -- as long as one doesn't put too much stock on tests and belts.
