The sources on this page let you search for descriptions of tests. They do not let you limit your search to tests that you could get for free through the Library in full text in a book or article. Often the sources on this page would be useful if you have funding to buy the test or if you only need a description, not the full test. These sources also let you rule out whether a test you have identified is available for free. Use other tabs on this Guide for tests that you can get through the Library or online.
