Testing 123 tabs

Psychological tests are tools that allow researchers to measure a particular variable (e.g. memory, intelligence, personality).

Some tests may require you to be professionally trained and accredited in order to use them. Always consult your tutor when considering the use of psychological tests in your work. 

All testing tools are considered copyrighted and you must seek permission from the copyright holder before using the tool.

Psychological tests are either commercially available for purchase, or unpublished. You can usually find unpublished tests in journal articles, books or freely available online.

The best starting place is PsycINFO to find tests that have been appended to journal articles. You can also find journal articles about studies where a specific test has been used using the Tests and Measures field. CINAHL also allows you to search for tests or research instruments.
