For information about non-open access tests available at TCSPP, view our Test Kit Collection page for your campus.
TCSPP users may also search for tests using one of the following databases.
Produced by the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements at the University of Nebraska, the Mental Measurements Yearbook provides users with a comprehensive guide to over 2,700 contemporary testing instruments. Tests in Print serves as a comprehensive bibliography to all known commercially available tests that are currently in print in the English language.
This database is published by the American Psychological Association and provides bibliographic, plus full text and multimedia of psychological tests from the early 1900s to the present. Test records include descriptive summaries of the test and its development and administration, mostly drawn from articles in peer-reviewed journals or books, with downloadable tests. 75% of the test records contain the actual test or test items.
To find open access tests in TestLink, go to the Advanced Search and change the dropdown to Order Information, then enter downloadable. Use the other dropdown boxes to run your search (enter * in the All Fields dropdown to see all downloadable tests).
The Open-Source Psychometrics Project "provides a collection of interactive personality tests with detailed results that can be taken for personal entertainment or to learn more about personality assessment. These tests range from very serious and widely used scientific instruments popular psychology to self produced quizzes. A special focus is given to the strengths, weaknesses and validity of the various systems."
Not every test on this page is scientifically valid: read carefully! There are, however, many useful measures.
