I needed a free scale for my research because some author won't respond to my e-mail, which is understandable but I have no choice but to have other options. i needed it badly. anything that can measure academic resourcefulness or learned resourcefulness. thank you.
Psychological capital (PsyCap) is something that can be measured for finding out resourcefulness:

Measuring Use of Resourcefulness Skills: Psychometric Testing of a New Scale
Highly resourceful individuals have been found better able to meet life's challenges and to experience more positive health outcomes. Although psychometrically sound measures of resourcefulness exist and resourcefulness training trials show that the intervention increases adaptive functioning and enhances quality of life, there is no direct measure of intervention fidelity. This study examined the reliability and validity of an 8-item Resourcefulness Skills Scale (RSS), which measures the frequency with which intervention recipients use specific resourcefulness skills. The RSS was found to have acceptable internal consistency ( 𝛼 = . 7 8 ), criterion-related validity ( 𝑟 's = .50 and .52 with other resourcefulness scales), and construct validity ( 𝑟 's =.38 and .53 with theoretically-related constructs). Factor analysis revealed two factors reflecting personal and social resourcefulness. Because the RSS queries respondents on their use of skills taught during resourcefulness training, it has potential usefulness as a measure for evaluating how well the training is translated into use of the skills in daily life.
