This guide was designed to help you work as efficiently as possible when trying to find, select, and review tests and measures.
Tests and measures are standardized instruments (questionnaires, inventories or scales) used to evaluate individuals, populations, or processes. Tests and measures can be published or unpublished. There are many ways to locate information about tests, but sometimes the tests themselves are hard to find! Throughout this site, we have provided you with ways to find information and, whenever possible, ways to view the tests.

About: Guidance for the student researcher on what to look for in a measurement instrument
Comments: This provides excellent commentary for student researchers looking for the right test to use. The article is a little older, though, and they rely ONLY on the Buros Center (publisher of a test review series and Tests in Print).
