Permission to Administer

It is essential to get permission to use an assessment tool! This may take time and perseverance.

Commercially available tools may require professional credentials or supervision to administer. Information about these requirements will be provided by the publisher. Contact the Chicago Assessment Center or Vancouver Assessment Library for help with commercially available tests and measures.

Permission to use freely available or unpublished tests and measures should be sought from the author/creator of the tool. Use APA PsycTests, Mental Measurement Yearbook, or Google to try to find author contact information.

Finding Permission

Use PsycTest to find the permissions needed to administer the test.
