The sixth index, the score index, allows the user to search for a test that measures a particular attribute, or score, eg., ambition. It consists of descriptive listing of and references to currently published tests. It can be used as a comprehensive index to tests in the Mental Measurements Yearbook which remain in print. New volumes are added occasionally. The editors of Test Critiques attempt to select for review the most frequently used psychological, educational, and business tests.
Reviews generally address practical applications, technical aspects, critiques, and references.
The purpose, time to complete, age range, scoring method, cost, and publisher are given for each test. This is an excellent source of information for finding tests which are not separately published. The reader is referred to a citation for a journal article which includes the test instrument. Characteristics of each test are briefly listed, and citations to any related research published by the time of the listing are also given. The directory is indexed only by author and subject.
