Locating & evaluating instruments

Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY)

This yearbook, considered the most authoritative resource for finding instruments, is available both in print and online. Includes descriptions and critical reviews for a wide variety of commercially-available tests, as well as publisher information for obtaining a copy of the instrument.

This article, written by an educational psychology professor, provides guidelines for evaluating the validity of an instrument using MMY reviews.

(NVC REF Z5814 .P8 B932)

Tests in Print Online (TIP)

This database includes over 4,000 test instruments that are commercially available, including description of the tests, intended population, scores available, current pricing, and publisher name and address.

As EBSCO databases, both MMY and TIP can be searched concurrently. Also, TIP records link directly to MMY reviews when available.
