Several of the pages above list it as one of many links for various tests (hardly featuring it), some other pages are by the authors of the test. I don't know enough to provide an analysis of the test or to have a solid opinion either way, but it seems to me that the proper way to evaluate the test would be to evaluate the accuracy of the test and its positions, not to count the pages that link to a copy of it.
