Eleventh Review of Tests Published in Spain

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Psychological tests are essential tools in applied psychology, widely used in various contexts to support decisions. In Spain, the Test Commission of the General Council of the Spanish Psychological Association has led the evaluation of tests since 2010 using the Test Evaluation Questionnaire-Revised (CET-R). This study presents the results of the eleventh edition (2022-2024), in which seven tests were evaluated: six from different publishing houses and one non-commercial test. Additionally, it compares the reporting of information and psychometric quality of tests published before and after the implementation of this evaluation system. The results of the eleventh evaluation show that commercially available tests, especially ones that have been published or updated recently, generally receive higher ratings. Regarding the reporting of information, findings indicate an increase in the inclusion of properties such as differential item functioning and temporal stability, although no statistically significant improvements were observed in quality scores. Overall, the system fosters the continuous improvement of tests by promoting their technical updates and strengthening transparency and confidence in the instruments used by psychologists.</p>

Abstract

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Psychological tests are essential tools in applied psychology, widely used in various contexts to support decisions. In Spain, the Test Commission of the General Council of the Spanish Psychological Association has led the evaluation of tests since 2010 using the Test Evaluation Questionnaire-Revised (CET-R). This study presents the results of the eleventh edition (2022-2024), in which seven tests were evaluated: six from different publishing houses and one non-commercial test. Additionally, it compares the reporting of information and psychometric quality of tests published before and after the implementation of this evaluation system. The results of the eleventh evaluation show that commercially available tests, especially ones that have been published or updated recently, generally receive higher ratings. Regarding the reporting of information, findings indicate an increase in the inclusion of properties such as differential item functioning and temporal stability, although no statistically significant improvements were observed in quality scores. Overall, the system fosters the continuous improvement of tests by promoting their technical updates and strengthening transparency and confidence in the instruments used by psychologists.</p>
