✦ Synopsis

The techniques and subject populations used in the field of Automated Psychological Testing are reviewed. Early work in this field used slide-projector systems usually with elderly or mentally handicapped patients. Recent advances in portable and inexpensive microcomputers have produced a new wave of research in which a wider range of tests have been automated for use with more varied subject populations. The fresh possibilities in test construction and administration offered by these approaches are discussed.
