==Sources of psychological tests==
Thousands of psychological tests have been developed. Some were produced by commercial testing companies that charge for their use. Others have been developed by researchers, and can be found in the academic research literature. Tests to assess specific psychological constructs can be found by conducting a database search. Some databases are open access, for example, [[Google Scholar]] (although many tests found in the Google Scholar database are not free of charge).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://scholar.google.com/ |title=Home |website=scholar.google.com |access-date=2021-10-19 |archive-date=2014-01-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140131002221/http://scholar.google.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Other databases are proprietary, for example, [[PsycINFO]], but are available through university libraries and many public libraries (e.g., the [[Brooklyn Public Library]] and the [[New York Public Library]]).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.apa.org/pubs/databases/psycinfo/ |title=APA PsycInfo |website=[[American Psychological Association]] (APA) |access-date=2021-10-19 |archive-date=2022-08-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220822164323/https://www.apa.org/pubs/databases/psycinfo/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
