Here's the email I received with instructions to either download the changes or
to request a replacement copy. APA sent me a prepaid mailing label to return my
book, but won't send me a replacement until they receive the copy I sent.

As far as I know, no, desk or complimentary copies don't qualify for a free

I haven't had time as yet to go through and review for errors etc. but there
seems to be enough in my brief review to recommend this site. There are
quizzes for checking progress as well that provide instant feedback when the
answer is chosen. There are really good static and dynamic images
I wonder what I should tell my students--check with the bookstore? Our
bookstore director hadn't heard anything about it. Somehow I don't think APA is
going to be too proactive.

They would not send me a replacement copy but are sending me some pages to
slip into my existing copy that are supposed to mesh seamlessly.
We'll see. I'll let you all know when it arrives.

Hi all,
At the most recent Best Practices conference, there was mention of a
website that's a repository for validated personality tests. I'm almost
certain it was in Laura King's presentation, but I'm not finding it in
my notes, nor is her presentation one of the ones available on the Best
Hi Sue. I found this link to the APS wiki for teachers of personality
psychology. The link below will take you directly to the tests and
measurements page. It looks promising.

The international personality item pool has an acronym, ipip like ipcio.
It is http://ipip.ori.org/
but is different from a repository for validated personality tests. It's a
great resource for use in a personality course, though.

I often use the International Personality Item Pool for methods/stats projects,
and students will often use it for their own projects. It's nifty

Whoa! Thank you to Mark, Marc, and William. I don't teach personality, but I do
like to use tests like some of these in statistics when I introduce them to
reliability and item analysis. These sites have just greatly expanded the tests
that I can draw upon in that regard.
Thanks again!

They're really cool for teaching about survey construction and administration,
and for letting the students get data to work with that they're actually
interested in (instead of giving them some canned dataset).
I really like them: you just turn them into Likert-scale items, and zut! you're
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Stephen,
I do wish you would talk to me in your posts as opposed to talking 'about
me,' in a fairly dismissive tone I might add. I think we all wish to
maintain a high level of civility on TIPS, even between/among folks who
have quite different opinions on an important topic.
