The BMIS scale is a free-ware mood scale. That is, I give my permission for its general research use. Please, though, credit the original article as the source for the scale. The proper APA citation is:
Mayer, J. D., & Gaschke, Y. N. (1988). The experience and meta-experience of mood. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 55, 102-111.
Scoring instructions are available in the above links. They also are available in that article (linked both here and in Cognition and Affect: Reprints).

How to Adjust the Reliability of BMIS
The BMIS is commonly used to measure pleasant-unpleasant mood. It uses a 4-point version of the Meddis response scale for each adjective:
XX, X, V, VV
The Pleasant-Unpleasant scale of the BMIS is sufficiently reliable for most purposes. If, however, reliability is of concern and you are planning to use one of the other three scales for which the test can be scored, you may want to consider the use of a 7-point version of the Meddis response scale. That will enhance the scale's reliability over the 4-point versions provided here. The seven point version I recommend would use the choices:
XXX XX X XV V VV VVV
Best of luck!
