New Database – Tests in Print

Tests in Print (TIP) serves as a comprehensive bibliography to all known commercially available tests that are currently in print in the English language. TIP provides vital information to users including test purpose, test publisher, in-print status, price, test acronym, intended test population, administration times, publication date(s), and test author(s). This bibliography can also serve as a guide to test reviews published in Mental Measurements Yearbook.
