MLQ for Research -- Response Data Collection
Since the Web system is an efficient way to collect self and multirater data, Mind Garden has made the system available to researchers for data collection. Rather than reports, the researcher receives the MLQ raw data in a csv file. Please note that this service is priced per leader with unlimited raters.
