Tests and Measures

Step by step instructions on how to find the best test or measure for your project and how to find the full text of tests.

Purchase tests and measures

Commercially available tests are usually purchased through the test publisher. Publishers hold the copyright to tests they distribute, and they maintain the copies of tests, test manuals, and scoring keys.

After locating the name, address, or phone number of a test publisher, contact the publisher with your request for information on a particular test (including purchase inquires). Such inquiries should be made directly to the test publisher. Many publishers have sperate policies for individual and organizational purchases of tests. Individuals may be required to compete a test purchaser qualifications form that allows a publisher to determine if the purchaser is qualified and competent to administer and interpret the test.
