Test library
How the tests may be used
Please note that the test library materials can only be used for illustrative and teaching purposes. This applies in particular to materials that are intended for use, such as test forms and the like. Such consumable materials from test library test procedures can only be used in the context of courses if students are to familiarise themselves with the procedures. If test sheets are used for teaching purposes, the test library must be informed so that a sufficient number of sheets can be purchased.
For research-related surveys (also in the context of final theses), the relevant materials cannot be provided by the test library, but the acquisition is the responsibility of the supervising professorship from its funds - the test library can only be used in preparation for the visualisation of procedures. Please note that test publishers often grant discounts for research purposes (see: "further information on using the test library").
Important:
For copyright reasons, test materials may not be copied when borrowed from the test library. Typing questionnaires in online surveys is also not permitted and violates the copy protection of commercial test procedures. Online use should be clarified individually with the publishers; digital solutions already exist in some cases.
Who is allowed to borrow?
The loan of tests is only possible for employees of the Institute of Psychology at Chemnitz University of Technology and students in the Bachelor's or Master's degree programme in Psychology (please present your Imma certificate).
Psychology students in the minor subject submit an informal certificate from a lecturer stating why the test is required.
Students who are not studying psychology as a major or minor subject require a certificate from a responsible psychologist stating what the test is used for and that it can be used properly. Other groups of people should contact the secretariat. (ppd@hsw.tu-chemnitz.de)
Processing of loans/returns
Consultation hours: Tuesdays from 10:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 14:00

If you are interested in acquiring a new procedure for teaching purposes, please send a short e-mail enquiry stating the background and purpose of the desired acquisition, including its relevance to teaching.
