To be included in an edition of MMY, "a test must be commercially available, be published in the English language, and be new, revised or widely used since it last appeared in the MMY series. Beginning in The Fourteenth Mental Measurements Yearbook, tests also must provide sufficient documentation supporting their technical quality to meet criteria for review."
