Many of the following sources contain psychometric information, such as validity, reliability, and norm development, in addition to critiques or reviews of tests and publisher or distributor information.
Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY)
Main Library Reference LB 1131 .B87
The online version contains over 7,000 instruments. The print MMY consists of numerous volumes and supplements. To be included in the MMY, a test must be commercially available, published in the English language, and be new or revised since it last appeared in the series. MMY contains descriptive and psychometric information for each test entry in addition to citations to critical reviews. As previous print editions are not cumulated in the latest print volume, it may be necessary to search multiple volumes to find a specific test or consult Tests in Print (below), which serves as the cumulated index to MMY.
