Getting Started
This tab shows you how to find information about tests and how to find the tests themselves. The
majority of commercially available instruments must be purchased from
publishers. Tests that are not commercially available may be found in
books, journal articles, printed reports, or from the author.
Finding scales and measures often requires thorough searching of print
and electronic library resources.
