Can anyone suggest a short, validated measure of task difficulty or challenge?

21 May 2019 0 6K Report

Ideally it is under 10 items long and uses a 7-point scale and is free to use.

I've been looking and while there are scales like that I can't seem to find any that are both validated and free to use.

Thanks in advance.
