PsycINFO is a good place to start if you are looking for studies that have utilized a particular test. Simply enter the test name (e.g., "Beck Depression Inventory") and select "TM Tests & Measures" from the drop-down list.

If you are looking for the actual test questions, follow these steps:
- Enter the construct (e.g., "depression") into the first search bar
- Type "appended" into the second search bar and select "TM Tests & Measures" from the drop-down list. All of the search results will include the full text of a test or measurement for that particular construct.
