The Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) is a comprehensive guide to thousands of contemporary testing instruments. It is produced by the Buros Center for Testing at the University of Nebraska. All MMY entries contain descriptive information including: test purpose, publisher, pricing, and edited reviews. To be included in the MMY, a test must be commercially available, published in English, and either new or revised since it last appeared in the MMY series.
Tests in Print (TIP) is also produced by the Buros Center for Testing. It is a comprehensive bibliography to all known commercially available tests that are currently in print in the English language. TIP entries provide information on test purpose, test publisher, in-print status, price, test acronym, intended test population, administration times, publication date(s), and test author(s).
For tests covered in both MMY and TIP, the database provides a single combined item record.
Find test descriptions and professional reviews of commercially available tests.
