Surveys, Instruments & Tests

Resources for finding and using various assessments, especially in the areas of psychology and education.

Published vs. Unpublished

Published tests are commercially available through test publishers. Use of these instruments is through purchase from the publisher, meeting the criteria for the purchase and administration of that test.

Unpublished tests are instruments that are not commercially available and are found in journal articles, ERIC documents, dissertations, or test compilation volumes. Use of these tests often requires contacting the author for permission.
