The Assessment Database serves as a reference resource both for information about assessments and for identifying the kinds of information that can be gathered when they are applied. Inclusion in the database is not meant to be an endorsement or recommendation, nor is it an indicator of the assessment's quality.

A list of relevant assessments can be shown using basic queries or custom queries. Assessment profiles describe their characteristics using the following values:

"Y" indicates that the assessment meets the criteria in the column heading.
"N" indicates that the assessment does not meet the criteria in the column heading. When it was clear that an assessment did not cover certain topics even though it was not specifically stated, judgments were made to change values from "Unknown" to "N".
"Unknown" indicates that there was insufficient information available to determine if the criteria was met
