Abstract

Psychology, as a science, needs a continuous and rigorous evaluation of both its methods and procedures as well as its techniques and instruments. The test is one of the main tools used by psychologists in their daily work, and cannot be an exception. The measuring instruments of psychological evaluation must be analyzed through a systematic, rigorous and independent process that guarantees their quality and usefulness. To this end, since 2010 the National Test Commission of the Spanish Psychological Association has been reviewing annually some of the tests most used by Spanish psychologists. This review process is based on the European test review model adapted to Spanish and it is performed through the Tests Review Questionnaire-Revised. In the present work the fifth evaluation of tests published in Spain is presented. A total of eleven tests were evaluated, with the participation of four publishing houses, and 24 experts in a peer review process. In general terms, the quality of the measurement instruments evaluated in this fifth revision was adequate, although there are a number of strengths and weaknesses. Finally the main conclusions are discussed and the possible future research areas in the evaluation of the tests in Spain are analyzed.
