Note: I am not a psychologist. What do you mean by "some tests are copyrighted"? Are you talking about a statistical method being copyrighted, an implementation thereof, or something else entirely?
- ttt_ 14y agoHe's refering to this (example): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_Depression_Inventory#Limitations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_Depression_Inventory#Limi... The BDI is copyrighted, a fee must be paid for each copy used, and photocopying it is a violation of copyright.
- iandanforth 14y agoCorrect. A portion of the original study involved a personality measure like big five (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits). The tests for this are almost all under copyright.
- dubya 14y agoProbably something like the Rorschach tests being copyrighted until recently. The actual test questions and the scoring rubric that, applied to a subject, yield a number or set of numbers.
