Thanks very much for the reply.

I am familiar with surrogate testing, but my goal is to perform independent, solo tests.

I am not surprised that spring devices are useless; they are too imprecise and the very fact that the device includes metal makes in useless. Special materials are needed. I have searched for years and found nothing useful; even expensive high-tech devices like the Compu-FET may not work because of electromagnetic field interference. (I have yet to try such a device.)

Again, thanks. We will just have to keep our ears open for any new devices that may appear.

I have a spring device I obtained from the NAET clinic where they use and teach self muscle testing.  I can say from personal experience that the device is worthless.  Also,  although I have practiced quite a bit for three years, using the o-ring technique, and the middle finger on top of the index finger techniques, I am still not able to reliably muscle test myself. 
 
I've seen persons expert at using the SE-5 radionics device use it to get yes/no answers about anything, but I can't use my machine because I am not able to sense the galvanic skin resistance.  I know a lot of other people who aren't able to do that either.  So making a device along those lines could not be used by many people. 
 
I've heard of classes in kinesiology somewhat nearby.  Perhaps they would know of reliable instruments for self-testing.  I will get the number for this organization as soon as I can.
 
If you can reliably muscle test someone else, you could test yourself using them as a surrogate for you.  Are you interested in a description of how this works?
 
I too would be very interested in a reliable instrument for self muscle testing.  I would not be in a position to make it myself, however.
