Finding Information ABOUT Psychological Tests
The following reference books will assist you in identifying tests. Some also supply reviews or summaries of tests.
Mental Measurements Yearbook Ref BF431 .M45
Tests Ref BF176 .T43 1991
Tests in Print Ref LB3051 .T43 1994
In addition, information about tests can sometimes be found in journal articles. Using the thesaurus in PsycInfo will help you to identify information about the following types of tests:
Finding ACTUAL Psychological Tests
Geisel Library does not have copies of individual tests, but unpublished ones may sometimes be found in journal articles, ERIC Documents, books, dissertations and on the Internet. Note that copyright restrictions may apply to such tests. Another approach is to try contacting the test's author/developer and asking for a copy.
To obtain published tests it is usually necessary to buy the test. Contact the publisher of the test for prices, test availability, and ordering information. The Reference books listed above have publishers' directories with contact information. Also, search the WorldCat database to determine whether another library has purchased the needed test. If located there, it can usually be borrowed via Interlibrary Loan.
For more complete information about psychological testing, please refer to the following APA Website: Finding Information about Psychological Testing from APA
