Discovering Tests Outside of Library Materials

Below are a few resources for finding psychological tests and measurements outside of Saint Mary's physical test collection, APA PsycTESTS, and the Mental Measurements Yearbook with Tests in Print. These resources were compiled from other libguides made by a variety of universities. This is not an exhaustive list, and is meant to supplement what is already available at the Saint Mary's libraries.
