This guide will show you how to find books, articles, and other resources in the field of Social Work.

About Tests

Many of these sources do not contain actual tests. They contain reviews and descriptions of tests. Because tests are often copyrighted and for sale, they can be difficult to obtain without paying for them.

PsychTests

PsychTests is a database from the American Psychological Association that contains complete tests along with directions and scoring information. Click here to search PsychTests and click here for a set of directions on searching PsychTests. 

Locating Test Reviews and Descriptions

If you are off campus you will be prompted for your University ID number and Library Password when accessing these databases.

Mental Measurements provides reviews and descriptions of tests.

Tests in Print provides descriptions of commercially available tests.
