Tests & Measurements: Find a Test Using MMY

Libraries generally do not keep copies of testing instruments.  Instead, they have print and electronic resources that aid you in identifying the existence of these instruments and the contact information about those who create and/or publish them.

The most widely acclaimed reference series in education and psychology, the Mental Measurements Yearbooks are designed to assist professionals in selecting and using standardized tests. The series, initiated in 1938, provides factual information, critical reviews, and comprehensive bibliographic references on the construction, use, and validity of all tests published in English.

The objectives of the Mental Measurements Yearbooks have remained essentially the same since the publication of the series. These objectives include provision to test users of:

• factual information on all known tests published as separates in the English-speaking countries of the world
• candidly critical test reviews written for the MMY series by qualified professional people representing a variety of viewpoints
• unique publication of each volume in the MMY series with new volumes supplementing rather than supplanting previous series volumes.

These are volumes that the Madigan Library owns in print, which can be found in the Reference Collection.
