Proprietary Measure
A proprietary measure is an existing psychological assessment where a publisher owns the legal rights to the tool, requiring researchers to purchase it prior to use. These instruments are particularly common in clinical psychology applications and include standard intelligence tests as well as major assessments like the Beck Depression Inventory and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI).

When operationally defining a construct, researchers generally avoid using existing measures because such established tools make it more difficult to compare new findings with the broader scientific literature.
