Tests are listed alphabetically by language, with a description that provides the name of the instrument, area tested, purpose of the test, grade or age level for which the test is intended, publisher, copyright date, price, administration time, and institutions that can supply copies of the test. Areas of assessment and the number of tests listed for each are as follows: adaptive behavior (1), aptitude (4), articulation (4), achievement (14), attitude (10), auditory processing (3), basic concepts (1), developmental stage (1), intelligence (37), language (97), mathematics (4), personality (3), readiness skills (7), reading and writing (18), and vocational proficiency (10). There are 101 tests in Spanish, 22 in French, 17 in Chinese, 13 in Portuguese, and 12 in Italian. From one to four tests are listed for Armenian, Cambodian, Creole, Danish, Dutch, German, Hebrew, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Samoan, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. The 17 tests listed in English include language dominance tests and achievement and aptitude tests intended for bilingual and/or multicultural groups.
