“…The importance of the need to improve the software and hardware ergonomics of user interfaces has become increasingly apparent as the field of automated testing has expanded (e.g. Beaumont, 1982), both in terms of the types of tests implemented and the categories of user. Of particular concern has been the problem of testing the elderly (Kendrick, 1982;Carr et al, 1982).…”

Over the past 15 years, a considerable body of literature has built up concerning the automation of psychological tests. Most of this research has been in the area of clinical testing, and may be unfamiliar to many of those involved in occupational assessment. However, the growth of office automation over the past few years has provided the hardware support needed for the development of automated personnel assessment techniques in industry and commerce. The present paper: (1) reviews the major developments in the field of automated testing, bringing together the literature from the clinical and occupational fields; (2) describes the potential provided by microcomputers for the development of new forms of testing; (3) outlines certain problems peculiar to automated testing; and (4) describes the possible future development of ‘expert’ personnel assessment and selection decision support systems.

“…Following Beaumont (1982), these issues are discussed under the headings of hardware, software and the user interface, in terms of possible characteristics of clients and of the computer-based tasks that clients may be asked to perform as part of assessment.…”

This article presents a theoretical and empirical overview of ergonomic and other Issues relating to Information technology use by a particular special needs group, that of psychiatric patients. The application of Information technology to assessment in computer-based testing and computer-mediated videotelephonic Interviewing is used to examine these issues. These are discussed in terms of hardware, software and user-interface considerations, and it is argued that the selection and design of systems must reflect the demands of the tasks used in assessment and also the characteristics of the psychiatric population.

“…The display device was a Portatel color monitor to which was fitted a capacitative touch-sensitive screen, thus allowing either the standard keyboard or the touch-sensitive screen to be used to input responses. Discussion of the principles adopted in designing this system can be found in Beaumont (1981cBeaumont ( , 1982.…”

As part of the Leicester/DHSS project on microcomputer‐aided assessment, 274 patients at five clinical sites were assessed with either a computerized version or the standard version of the Mill Hill Vocabulary (Synonyms) test. Of this group, 178 were retested on the alternative version of the test. Similarly, 184 patients were tested with either a computerized version or the standard version of the Standard Progressive Matrices test, of whom 129 were retested on the alternative test form. High correlations were found between the standard and computerized versions for both tests. For the Mill Hill Vocabulary test, no significant difference was found between test versions for first administration, and the vast majority of retested subjects had very similar scores on each version. On the Standard Progressive Matrices, however, subjects obtained significantly lower scores on the computerized test. It is concluded that whereas the computerized Mill Hill Vocabulary test could be used in place of the standard version of clinical settings, the computerized Standard Progressive Matrices test could not be used.
