As open innovation put forward the importance of pulling together the strength of internal and external means of organizations, as it is important to look and dwell into the reasons that will be able to explain the adoption of open innovation. The purpose of this study is to present the test development process that measures the technology exploitation towards open innovation adoption. Rasch measurement model was used for the instruments measurement analysis. Results from the reliability indices, unidimensionality and item-fit analysis exhibited an acceptable and satisfactory measure of the instruments used for measuring technology exploitation. Implication of these tests can be used for placement, diagnostics and predictive assessment purposes.
