DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Psychological tests-whereby specific replicable procedures are applied to quantify behavior-are commonly used for the measurement of human behavior by numerous groups, such as in education, business and industry, legal system, hospitals and clinics, and research labs. At least 20,000 tests have been developed since the inception of psychology as a science and over 4,000 are commercially published currently. However, there is no single resource to aid the many who need to select a test for a defined purpose, obtain that test to use, or gain knowledge about test development and evaluation. The best test therefore may not necessarily be used, to the detriment of the individuals being tested and society as a whole. Consequently, the goal of this project is to develop an internet-based resource to facilitate selection of, access to, and education about psychological tests, named the Psychological Test and Assessment Resource (PsyTestAR). The development focus will be on tests for children and adolescents, which number several thousands.By the end of Phase II, three integrated components will constitute PsyTestAR, jointly providing a wide range of essential online resources on tests and assessment: (1) The Psychological Test Selection and Access Resource will enable the user to enter search parameters representing an existing assessment need. The search interface examines the test information data base and returns a list of tests apparently meeting that need. Selecting a test in this list presents detailed information from the data base on that test. The user gains access to all tests appropriate to his/her qualifications either: (a) immediately in downloadable MS Word documents held on the PsyTestAR server containing the test form(s) and related material (e.g., manual) or (b) a web link or e-mail address referral to the company or person who distributes the test when PsyTestAR does not have a distribution agreement. (2) The Test Development and Evaluation Tutorial provides education on psychological test development, evaluation, and selection in an engaging interactive online format best conducive to learning. (3) The Test and Assessment Resources Links provides access to extensive print and internet resources on tests for children and adolescents and psychological assessment in general. The goal of the proposed Phase I project is to test the feasibility of this product development plan, culminating in the testing of the usability and usefulness of prototype of the three resources The intended consumers of PsyTestAR include test users in all areas (e.g., clinicians, researchers, students, teachers) who need information about and access to psychological tests for children and adolescents or want to be educated about tests and assessment generally.

描述（由申请人提供）：心理测试 - 适用于特定的可复制程序来量化行为 - 通常用于众多群体的人类行为，例如在教育，商业和工业，法律体系，医院和诊所以及研究实验室。自心理学成立以来，至少已经开发了20,000次测试，目前已商业发表了4,000多个测试。但是，没有一个资源来帮助许多需要为定义目的选择测试，获得该测试或获得有关测试开发和评估的知识。因此，最好的测试可能不一定被使用，以损害正在测试的个人和整个社会。因此，该项目的目的是开发基于互联网的资源，以促进有关心理测试的选择，访问和教育，并将其命名为心理测试和评估资源（Psytestar）。开发重点将放在儿童和青少年的测试上，数千。在第二阶段结束时，三个集成的组件将构成Psytestar，共同为测试和评估提供了广泛的基本在线资源：（1）心理测试选择和访问资源将使用户能够输入代表现有评估所需的搜索参数。搜索界面检查了测试信息数据库，并返回显然满足需求的测试列表。在此列表中选择一个测试从该测试的数据库中介绍了详细信息。用户可以获得适合其资格的所有测试的访问：（a）在可下载的MS Word文档中立即在Psytestar服务器上持有，其中包含测试表格和相关材料（例如，手动）或（b）Web链接或电子邮件地址转介给公司或在Psytestar没有分配一致时分发测试的人。 （2）测试开发和评估教程提供有关心理测试开发，评估和选择的教育，最有利于学习的交互式在线格式。 （3）测试和评估资源链接在儿童和青少年的测试中提供了广泛的印刷和互联网资源的访问权以及一般的心理评估。提议的I期项目的目的是测试该产品开发计划的可行性，最终在测试三种资源的原型的可用性和实用性测试中，Psytestar的预期消费者包括所有领域的测试用户（例如，所有领域（例如，临床医生，研究人员，研究人员，学生，老师），需要对儿童和Adsports和Adement和Aderscents进行访问的信息，以评估对儿童和AD的访问。
