“…Noting the problem of applying IRT-based CAT in personality tests that are not psychometrically homogeneous and thus cannot meet the unidimensionality assumption of IRT, Butcher, Keller, and Bacon (1985) proposed the countdown strategy as an alternative approach to in the computerized adaptive personality assessment. The countdown strategy can be applied when the goal of the testing is classification of the examinees into one of two groups, for example, normal or deviant, using a cutoff score on a scale.…”

Computerized testing methods have long been regarded as a potentially powerful asset for providing psychological assessment services. Ever since computers were first introduced and adapted to the field of assessment psychology in the 1950s, they have been a valuable aid for scoring, data processing, and even interpretation of test results. The history and status of computer-based personality and neuropsychological tests are discussed in this article. Several pertinent issues involved in providing test interpretation by computer are highlighted. Advances in computer-based test use, such as computerized adaptive testing, are described and problems noted. Today, there is great interest in expanding the availability of psychological assessment applications on the Internet. Although these applications show great promise, there are a number of problems associated with providing psychological tests on the Internet that need to be addressed by psychologists before the Internet can become a major medium for psychological service delivery.
