Abstract
The development and validation of a psychological assessment system is described. The system currently has the capability to administer, score, and in many cases interpret, 62 different psychological tests. In addition, the system collects patient information by automated interviews in 18 areas of relevance. The system also has the capability of assisting the development of psychiatric diagnoses utilizing the new DSM III diagnostic criteria.
The present system, programmed in ANS MUMPS, has been used to administer over 8,000 psychological tests and has received excellent acceptance in the institutions where it has been installed.
