Every record in PsycTESTS receives a PsycTESTS Classification, which is used to identify the general area of psychology that the measure is designed to assess. This field was added to PsycTESTS as a part of our November 2014 update. All records in the database at that time were updated with a PsycTESTS Classification.
NOTE: The PsycTESTS Classification System is not the same as the PsycINFO® Classification System, but was created using the same principles.
APA also has a printer-friendly version of this chart in PDF format (32KB), which requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
