About Measurement Tools
USC has many resources for identifying testing and measurement tools. Most tests are copyrighted and can only be purchased from the publisher. Sometimes you can view a test because it has been published in a journal article or dissertation. Researchers and students may not photocopy and use proprietary tests from these sources. If you are looking for a measurement tool to use it is recommended to consider the cost. If you are trying to view a measurement tool try typing the name in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses-Full Text. Then look at the appendices to see if they have included the measurement tool.
