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.
