Testothek
What does the Testothek do?
The Testothek of the Institute of Psychology in Education is an offer to the students of Leuphana University Lüneburg.
Here it is possible to borrow current and historical psychological test procedures and test procedure-centred literature. The Testothek currently has about 450 psychodiagnostic procedures for all areas of application. These include, for example, general achievement tests, personality-structure tests and school tests. The stock list is available for download. Our test procedures can also be searched for in the Central Library catalogue.
If unauthorised persons have access to test items and pass on items or solutions or disseminate corresponding information, in extreme cases it is no longer possible to make reliable diagnostic statements with the procedures. This may destroy years of efforts to scientifically validate test results. In addition, students and practitioners often look for ways to copy tests, which are usually quite expensive, and perform them using the copied materials. This cannot be justified for reasons of copyright protection.
So the following applies to the borrowed test procedures:
- They are issued for study purposes only,
- may not be used for diagnostic purposes,
- may not be passed on to third parties
- and may not be reproduced for private use.
Damage to the material must be replaced. In general, no test material may be used up. The test including all components must be returned.
