Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY)

 

The Mental Measurements Yearbook Database includes the full text content from the 9th edition to the current MMY edition. It also includes Tests in Print (TIP), produced by the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements at the University of Nebraska.

 

The MMY and TIP do not include the actual tests. They provide reviews of published tests.

 

TIP is a bibliography of commercially available tests, in the English language. TIP provides descriptive information about each test. Included in the information of the test is the title, author(s), reviewer(s), price, publication date, purpose, population and more in the detailed record of the test.

MMY reviews include the information you need to critically evaluate a test. Each review includes descriptive information and a critique on validity and reliability, with references. In order to be included in MMY, a test must be commercially available and published in English. The reviews will be under the detailed record and information about the test. Many entries include two reviews. Scroll down the page to see the second review.
