For information about researching and using published or unpublished tests, see the following sources:

Researchers often come to the library to find copies of published tests and measurements. The Library does not keep copies of testing instruments. However, we do have resources to help researchers to locate test descriptions and the contact information of test publishers. With this information, researchers can contact the publisher to learn the cost and availability of the tests, and how to obtain them. 

Information about unpublished tests usually appears in journal articles.  There are several ways to discover an unpublished measurement within the literature.

Directories:

The following directories can help researchers to locate unpublished tests:

• Directory of Unpublished Experimental Mental Measures:  This valuable directory provides researchers and students easy access to recently developed experimental mental measures, tests, and surveys that are not commercially available.  Call Number:  Reference  BF431 .G625 2008  

• ETS Test Link:  A free, online database of more than 25,000 tests and other measurement devices, most of which were created by authors outside the Educational Testing Service.  It contains information about tests from the early 1900s to the present.

Searching the Literature:

If you cannot find a test that suits your needs either in the sources for published tests or in the directories listed above, you may be able to locate a test of interest by searching within the scholarly literature by using the following databases.
