Researchers constantly search for noncommercial test instruments, and this lists those that are recently developed or recently used. It does not evaluate the instruments but gives enough
information for researchers to make a preliminary judgment, giving basic test properties and, when possible, additional sources from which researchers can obtain technical information. The
compilers consulted 34 professional domestic journals but did not include measures published only in dissertations. The 24 categories include achievement, adjustment, aptitude, attitude,
behavior, concept meaning, creativity, development, family, institutional information, motivation, perception, personality, preference, problem solving and reasoning, status, trait measurement,
values and vocational interest or evaluation, and each entry includes a purpose, description (number of items, time required, and format), statistics (reliability and validity) and source.
