Finding tests and research instruments is often a time-consuming task. Be warned that frequently you may find information but ultimately have to purchase the test from the publisher for a fee. Sometimes you need to track down and contact the author of the tool directly and the author may also charge a fee. Some of the resources will identify where you may request an item for purchase. Some will help you identify a tool that might serve your purposes. Sometimes, you might find an article that contains a copy of the test, but be aware that the test publisher usually holds the copyright.
