Even though I admit that funding is _very_ tight nowadays, especially in the field of engineering education, and I applaud original efforts to bring in some more, this practice only worsens the problem, as obviously the improved version of the test can no longer be open sourced, meaning it's once again closed off for the general public. -Most scales not even that useful. They're a quick quantitative way to help identify the first layer of the problem, but nothing more. +Most scales are not even that useful. They're a quick quantitative way to help identify the first layer of the problem, but nothing more. I wish universities would mandate (1) publishing works as open access and (2) the spreading of findings, results, and developed tools such as test scales through multiple channels. Even a simple webpage hosted by the faculty will do.
