Obtain a Copy of a Psychological Measure
Many tests are not formally published but instead simply appear in articles that publish the results of the research for which they were used.
Search for your test in one of our psychological test databases below and get the test:
Alternatively, look at the references of an article that used your test. It should list the publication details. If a company is listed as the publisher, it's a commercial test. If it's cited as being from a scholarly article, it should be non-commercial.
See if the full text is available in PsycTESTS. If it is, you will see a "PDF--full text button".
If you cannot find the test in one of our databases or Wikipedia, google the test name, find the publishers and buy it.
Sometimes you may need to contact the author a test and ask for a copy of the measure. Remember to explain that you are using this for class. Make sure you include your name, your professor's name, the name of the class, and Ursuline College in your request to view a measure.
Remember: You can also search the OhioLINK catalog for the name of the Measure. Some libraries in the state have Test Collections or it is possible that the Measure may be indexed in a book.
You can always ask your friendly Librarian for help too!
In PsycINFO you can find an article with a copy or a partial copy of the measure by typing the word “appended” after the measure in the Tests and Measures field.
The results will look like this:
