FAQ: How do I find practice or sample tests in the library?

• PsycTests - EBSCO. You can find some practice or sample tests in the PsycTESTS database.

More Information

• If your test has been reviewed in the Mental Measurements Yearbook, you may also find a list of References at the end which may potentially have your test as an appendix.  You can use our Multi-Search tool to try and track these down by copying and pasting the article or book titles into the search box on the library home page OR contact a librarian for more assistance. 
• If you are looking for unpublished tests on the Internet, you might try the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) which provides more than 325 personality scales and measures, by experts, in the public domain, and therefore it is freely available for use. It includes information on reliability, validity, guidance on how to administer and score, and how to cite the resource.
