Psychometric Instruments


All of my psychometric instruments may be used freely by scientists, students, instructors, and curious individuals for research or educational purposes.

If you publish or present your findings using my instruments, please be sure to cite any papers relevant to their development or validation.

However, if you intend to use ANY version of my instruments for ANY commercial or industrial application (including non-profit work), without exception, you MUST first contact me with details about your plans before I will consider granting permission. This statement also applies to any adaptations of the items that comprise ANY of the scales I have developed, without exception.
