    Tests and questionnaires

    When the development or use of a questionnaire is described in a journal article, it is often entirely or partly included in the text or in the appendix. Articles can be found via A to Z databases.

    Try these databases:

    • WorldCat Discovery
    • PsycINFO
    • Sociological Abstracts
    • ScienceDirect
    • PubMED
    • ERIC
    • Google Scholar

    Although search options differ for each database, useful search terms may prove to be: 'questionnaire', 'survey', 'test' in combination with e.g. 'personality', 'career', 'employee satisfaction' or 'consumers'.

    Descriptions and reviews

    Information on tests such as descriptions, reviews and user instructions as well as names and contact details of the developers can be found in:

    • The COTAN database: overview of all tests in Dutch with a review by COTAN.
    • Library databases (see tests and questionnaires above) and on the public web: search with the name of the test, combined with terms such as 'review', 'evaluation', 'validity' or 'reliability'.
