Description:
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) Test Collection database contains records on over 9,500 tests and research instruments. These records describe the instruments and provide availability information. The Test Collection encompasses virtually all fields from vocational interest inventories for adults to instruments that measure shyness or predict recidivism in released criminal offenders, to assessment of managerial style, as well as education-related achievement and aptitude tests. The test descriptions are indexed with ERIC Thesaurus terms for subject accessibility.
The Test Collection database collects a variety of instruments: achievement tests, aptitude tests, personality measures, attitude measures, career/vocational interest measures, occupational tests such as nursing or sales skills inventories. Many research instruments are collected as well as tests from commercial publishers.
Also included are separate databases of test publishers and test reviews.
