Psychological test collection service desk in U0, accessed via Entrance V
The psychological test collection houses materials which, due to their complex nature – and in some cases comprising many individual components – cannot be made freely accessible. The main focus is on an extensive collection of approximately 1,500 different psychological tests (often in multiple copies), which can be borrowed under strictly controlled conditions, in accordance with the guidelines of the German Psychological Association (BDP) and the International Test Commission (ITC). The test collection comprises German and international test procedures from the fields of psychology, clinical linguistics, education, sports science, and health sciences.
