PsycTests

PsycTESTS (EBSCO) This link opens in a new windowA database of testing literature culled from researchers, peer-reviewed journals, books and handbooks, dissertations, websites, the Archives of the History of American Psychology Test Collection, and commercial test publishers. Includes information on test development, review, usage, and actual testing instruments. Tests are on a wide range of subjects, including developmental, personality, intelligence, military, and more.
While the database is described as "full-text," it does not have the full-text of the tests and measurements -- it is the full-text of a directory. The test record, however, will give you information on obtaining the instrument itself. Many of these tests are available in research articles documenting the development and validity of the instrument.
Diagnostics
