Subject Guides: Psychology: Tests, Measures & Research Methods

Tests & Measures

Many tests are proprietary and as a result access to them is restricted. Often psychology tests can only be administered by someone who is authorised and trained. If you are looking for a particular test and finding it difficult to locate, it may be that you have to pay for access to the test questions and answer key. The Mental Measurements Yearbook can help you find answers and reviews to psychological tests..
